Commissary:
production, warehouse, and distribution |
| |
|
With
Howard Johnson's entry into the Buckeye State
in the early 1940s a commissary was opened in
Cleveland to serve the quickly growing chain.
However WWII put a damper on growth and the Cleveland
Commissary did not expand until the middle 1950s.
Its primary purpose was to be a distribution point. |

Opened
September of 1967, the first HoJo Junction began
operation in Troy. The Company planned to spread
the new concept coast-to-coast. Designed as fast
food restaurants, the units were self-service
and offered a limited menu. The concept did not
live up to projections and only six were ever
put into operation. The three locations in Ohio
eventually dropped the HoJo Junction name and
became simply Howard Johnson's. |

Announced
in Howard Johnson's 1961 Annual Report, the Company
was experimenting with new restaurant designs.
The experimental "compact" unit located
near Bellville was said to incorporate "new
techniques to render rapid, self-service to the
guest with lower operating costs." |

An
experimental concept, the Lamplighter Grill opened
in February of 1966 and was located in the ground
floor of the Cleveland-Airport Motor Lodge. It
was described as being halfway between a standard
HoJo's and an upscale Red Coach. A new logo was
devised which featured "an old-fashioned
lamplighter on an old-time ladder tending gay
nineties gaslights." The concept offered
its own distinct menu, china, interior and employee
uniforms. Serving only lunch and dinner, it was
apparently a one-off for the Company. |

Opened
with considerable fanfare, the all-in-one multi-story
Cleveland-Lakefront Motor Lodge featured a penthouse
Red Coach Grill. The upscale restaurant opened
in the summer of 1965 and was said to draw on
the rich lore of the Great lakes and incorporated
the decor and flavor of early navel history. the
unit could seat 100 guests and offered room for
55 in its cocktail lounge. |

Marking
another success for the Howard Johnson Company,
six HoJo's service plaza units opened at 12:01
AM on January 15, 1958 along the Ohio Turnpike.
The buildings were non-standard and had been operated
by the Turnpike Commission since their opening
in August of 1957. |
