The
Chicago commissary opened in 1955, and its primary function
was to supply restaurants around Chicago and in the
Middlewest. Built with an option to expand, initially
the facility served as an ice cream plant and warehouse.
The commissary was described as featuring the "latest
machinery for the modern production of ice cream." |

The
Ground Round concept was devised by Frank Barrett and
Gordon Smith. The restaurants were themed to be "simple,
but solid, [with the] look of early Americana reinforced
by red-checkered tablecloths, lots of beautiful wood,
a huge fireplace that works, a jukebox, and peanut shells
on the floor." The prototype was in Norridge, a
converted circa 1954 HoJo's and began operating in 1969. |

Initially
opened March 3, 1970 as a Red Coach Grill, the unit
was located in "Executive Plaza between two dramatically
modern office towers." As a Red Coach, the restaurant
seated 275 and offered a Tally Ho cocktail lounge. Performing
poorly, in 1975 it was converted into an experiential
concept called P.J. Brennan's. The Brennan family was
closely associated with the Johnson's and Howard B.
received his middle name from that association. |
