Independence,
Missouri -- 408 West US 24 @ Pleasant
|
|
Dating
from 1956, the stand-alone Independence location had ceased to exist
by 1963. At some point the short-lived HJ was recycled into Jim's
Family Restaurant. However the location's business eventually fell
off and Jim's relocated. The Howard Johnson's building was demolished
and by the 2000s a credit union occupied its former site. |

Another
St. Louis area Restaurant, Webster Groves opened in about
1956. It was a typical Nims-type with its Dairy Bar to
the right. The location apparently lost its Howard Johnson's
name in about 1970. The building was at some point recycled
into a Steak
'n Shake,
but during the middle 2000s the former HJ building was
demolished and a new restaurant was built in its place.

Not only did the Steak 'n Shake recycle HoJo's building,
it refaced and reused its Trapezoid street sign for many
years.

Prior to its demolition, the Webster Groves Steak 'n Shake
occupied the Howard Johnson's Nims-type building.
