Burger King
Naperville, IL
This Burger King seems to be a well-preserved original building most likely from the late 1950s. Inside the restaurant is this poster showing the early design. I don't believe there are any of these fantastic neon signs left. Burger King was founded in 1953 and had over 100 locations by 1965. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Burger King
Quincy, MA		 Burger King
Pennsville, NJ
This Quincy Burger King appears to be a remodeled example of the early design.

I believe this Pennsville Burger King's castle design is unique. Does anyone know when it was built?

Burger King
Buena Park, CA
This Buena Park Burger King is the only other castle-themed location that I know of. It is located across the street from a Medieval Times which opened in 1986. I assume this Burger King was built around the same time to tie in with the castle theme. For more, see this website.

Taco Bell [gone]
Los Angeles, CA
This Taco Bell had not changed all that much since the company's early design. These photos are from 2008. By 2012, this location had closed and the building was remodeled for a Thai restaurant. The sign was gone. These plastic signs are incredibly rare now. The only other one that I know of that is still in use is in Savannah, GA. There were others until recently in Wilmington, DE and Wausau, WI. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Roy Rogers
Cincinnati, OH
The Roy Rogers restaurant chain was established in 1968. I believe this sign and building are from around that time. This sign is still lit at night. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

There was another one of these old signs in Springdale, UT which was adapted for the Pioneer Lodge. It is now in storage in Cedar City, UT. I don't know of any other existing examples of these signs.

Franksville
Chicago, IL		 Pepe's Mexican Restaurant
Chicago, IL		 advertisements
Atlanta area, GA
Franksville was a Chicago-area chain founded in 1963. There were 15 locations by 1965. This may be the only location left. However, there are many examples of their double-roofed buildings still around, including the Pepe's Mexican Restaurant (another chain with dozens of locations). The locations around Atlanta, GA show that the Franksville chain reached far beyond the Midwest. Does anyone know more about them? For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
