The
long-time Landmark Restaurant was a fixture in Millington
from about 1959 until 2005. Even though the area is largely
rural, the Restaurant found long term success.
It's
owner, believing in FAI's vision to maintain the chain,
undertook an extensive remodeling of the facility in about
1986. While the remodeling effort expanded Millington and
enhanced its capacity to serve patrons, it largely left
the classic "Nims-type" Restaurant unrecognizable.
Nonetheless, even as its Orange roof was removed, the Millington
outpost remained a vital piece of Howard Johnson's until
the demise of FAI in 2005.

A poster advertising Howard Johnson's Tendersweet Fried Clams
was still in use at Millington in 1999. The advertisement
dated from 1985 while the Howard Johnson Company was owned
by Imperial and featured a re-launch of the Simple Simon and
the Pieman motif! |

Even
thought the Restaurant lasted another 20 years following its remodel,
it is remarkable since the site's signature elements were removed.
Moreover, the building itself was rendered un-seeable from the highway
with an overgrowth of ornamental trees... Note the oversized "OPEN"
signs! |
