Most
if not all of the Buckeye State's Dutch Pantrys were
owned and operated by Hospitality Motor Inns, and
Bowling Green was no exception. Featuring the classic
Dutch Pantry design and layout the unit was probably
built in the early 1970s, and was well sited in the
area's commercial strip adjacent to other roadside
businesses and the Bowling
Green Howard Johnson's.
With
Dutch Pantry's corporate demise in the 1980s, the
unit ceased to be and was eventually converted into
a Fricker's. |

Hospitality
Motor Inn
Cincinnati
--
8020 Montgomery Rd |
| |
The
largest franchisee of Dutch Pantry Restaurant's was Hospitality
Motor Inns (HMI) based in Cleveland, Ohio. HMI was created
in 1964 as a subsidiary of Standard Oil of Ohio (SOHIO),
and during the 1960s built its chain of Hospitality motels.
The motor inns all offered modern design and amenities.
Like the unit in Cincinnati, they usually featured an architecturally
distinctive many-sided lobby/public space. The 162 room
Cincinnati property became a Harley Hotel, Best Western
and Four Points by Sheraton after its days as a Hospitality
Motor Inn. |
