Findlay
1410 W. Main Cross Street
 
Set up at what was once Findlay's primary I-75 interchange, Hospitality Motor Inns built their Dutch Pantry across from Howard Johnson's failed HoJo's Junction. The unit was eventually converted into a Fricker's sans its cupola.

Highway interchange realignment probably wreaked havoc with Mansfield's business! The unit was one of those that had been built, owned, and operated by Hospitality Motor Inns.
