A couple of satisfied patrons enjoyed their breakfast at the Dairy
Bar. Note the Howard Johnson's breakfast menus! |

A considerable factor in the Isken family's success was not only
in treating its patron's right, but they also did well by their
employees too. That loyality, care, and dedication is evidenced
by the tenure of some of their loyal staff which is exemplified
by waitress Vivian Bolinski who graciously posed for the photo
below. She was a "Johnson Girl" at the Concord Pike
HoJo's for over thirty years! |

In
September 2002 the Isken's sold their Restaurant to Thomas G.
Hatzis who was a real estate investor and car dealership dealer
owner. At first Mr. Hatzis who was a regular at the HoJo's indicated
that he had no plans to leave the franchise. However with Franchise
Associates Inc. no longer able to offer much support to franchisees,
Mr. Hatzis decided to leave the chain and the Restaurant lost
its Orange Roof by November of 2003. |

& BELOW: Phil Edwards who while visiting the Restaurant
in 2003, was approached by the gentlemen seated at the Dairy Bar
who wanted to know if he was interested in purchasing "The
World of 28 Flavors" panels and said to him "make us
an offer." |

Concord
Pike's cupola was replaced in the 1970s with the "Beacon"
cupola shown above. The original cupola was similar to the one
last seen at Kirkwood,
Missouri. |
