Commissary:
production, warehouse, and distribution |
| |
|
Opened
on April 25, 1965, the Los Angeles commissary was initially
set up as a storage and distribution center. Manufactured
goods from other commissaries were shipped to it via
sea, rail, and truck. The operation served as the Howard
Johnson Company's primary support for restaurants in
the western United States. |

Restaurants:
concepts, prototypes, and experiments |
| |
|
Following
in the trend of Restaurant renovations started in the
middle 1970s where earth tones, butcher block table
and counter tops, as well as octagonal salad bars replaced
traditional decor, the New Edition concept was an attempt
"to add a new dimension" to Howard Johnson's
restaurants. Santa Clara was converted in 1977 and was
among the first four prototypes. Tweaking the Orange
Roofs into New Editions was said to make them more upscale
with menus revamped to include more fresh food items
placing special emphasis on salads of all types. The
Company decided that all new Orange Roofs would be New
Editions, but soon backed off its position and the concept
was abandoned. |

The
Howard Johnson's Today concept introduced in 1984
was supposed to reinvent traditional Orange Roofed
Restaurants. The theme was "everything's new
at Howard Johnson's." Diary bars were replaced
with take-out counters, and menu items became a blend
of traditional fare and contemporary choices.
