Note
that the Treasure Island Restaurant under a forty year lease agreement
had been operated by the Howard Johnson Company and not a franchisee.
When the Company was sold to Marriott in 1985, it and a handful
of other higher volume locations were kept open as HoJo's. Among
them were Treasure Island and the nearby restaurant at St. Pete
Beach which were sold by Marriott to Franchise Associates Incorporated
(FAI) in 1991. Al Roberts, whose parents built the restaurant
and leased it to the Howard Johnson Company in 1962, signed a
new lease agreement in 1998 with North Lake Foods Inc. which redeveloped
the site into a Waffle House. Virginia Pinola was the HoJo's last
manager.
Lasting
from 1962 until October of 1998, the Treasure Island Restaurant
was especially long-lived as a Howard Johnson's. Unfortunately
for me, I missed seeing it as a HoJo's by only about six months.
