Aired in 2000, the 75th anniversary was recognized in the news media. Note that HDJ did NOT inherit or take over the ice cream shop from his father. Please visit www.orangeroof.org for more about Howard Johnson's.
The 1950's areal shot of a HoJo's was located off the southeast expressway (Rt 93) just before the Braintree split in Quincy, Mass. That location was demolished in the 1980's and today, you would never know their was a HoJo's their. And besides motels they also had a vending division which became All Seasons Services and today is now Next Generation Food Service.

I think we had one HoJo here in S.Jersey on Rt 322 outside of Atlantic City,NJ. It's been long gone now. This was back in the late 60's early 70's
