 Believed to be the first of three Howard Johnson Company owned stores, it opened in 1954 and was the second location in the Toledo area.

Its interior is the most intact of the remaining Toledo Restaurants. But that isn't saying too much. Really just the striped terrazzo floor is still extant, and unfortunately the Simple Simon and the Pieman inset was removed.

 In order to disguise the Restaurant, very awkward "buttresses" were added around the front of the building.
