| former Henry's Hamburgers Syracuse, NY |

 |
 |
 |
 |
| This former Henry's Hamburgers was built in 1960 and operated until around 1974. The building now houses Bob Barkers Hot Dog Stand. A vintage photo of this location shows what the restaurant looked like originally. Henry's Hamburgers was founded in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s, there were more than 200 locations around the country. Most were located in the Midwest. Henry's buildings copied early McDonald's buildings. The most obvious difference is Henry's use of green tile. McDonald's only used red and white. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |

Tubby's Sub Shops, now officially named Tubby's Grilled Submarines, first opened in 1968 in St. Clair Shores, MI. They began franchising in 1978 and now have about 70 locations in the Detroit area. These sub-clutching statues are about seven feet tall. They were inspired by Big Boy statues and built by FAST in the 1990s. There were only about five of them made. The character represents a sailor. He was named "Ricky" after the company's founder, Richard Paganes. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.
The Clinton Township location has an interesting castle-like building with a gold roof. It's the only one I've seen like this. The photo of this Detroit statue was taken in 2006. Sometime after that, this location became Home Run Subs and now houses the Motown Cafe. This statue remains. If I'm missing photos of any other Tubby's statues or interesting buildings, please let me know. |
| Sylvia's Super Sub Shop Allen Park, MI |
 |
| The statue at Sylvia's Super Sub Shop looks like it was inspired by the Tubby's statues describe above. These pirate statues were used by a Detroit area chain. Does anyone know the name of it? Sylvia's has been here since 1969. |

Central Park opened their first location in Chattanooga in 1982. They have since expanded with over 60 locations in TN, GA, AL, NC, SC and UT. They have a unique tower-like structure with two drive-through windows and a tiny footprint with no inside dining. Some of the locations have an add-on structure at the rear. For more, see their website.
This West Memphis Central Park is now the Candied Apple Spot. This Reidsville Central Park is now part of the Super Sudz II car wash. The Round the Clock restaurant chain was founded in 1963. They now have about a dozen locations in IN and IL. I don't know what this small structure in front of their full-sized building was used for or if there are any other locations with one. For more, see their website. |
