| former Burger in a Hurry Haltom City, TX |
 |
 |
 |
| The Burger in a Hurry chain was established in Birmingham, AL in 1960. By the late 1970s, the chain was defunct. This is the only surviving, recognizable building that I know of. It now houses a used car dealer. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. |

|
The Mr. Quick Hamburgers chain was founded in 1962 in Moline, IL. There were at least 300 locations in about 13 states. I don't believe any of them are still operating. The building design was inspired by McDonald's restaurants.
This Fort Worth location was built sometime before 1972. Although a dining area box has been added to the front of the building, its original profile is intact. The building now houses the Family Cafe. The Tucson location has been abandoned for many years. The building may have housed a fried chicken take-out in the 1980s. The atom on top of the sign was part of the Mr. Quick design. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. If you know of any other surviving buildings, I'd love to hear about them. |

| former Orange Julius Los Angeles, CA |
 |
|
This former Orange Julius in Santa Barbara has housed La Super-Rica Taqueria since 1980. It was probably built in the 1960s. There is another former Orange Julius like this in Los Angeles, CA.
The first former Orange Julius in Los Angeles shown above now houses L.A. Burger. The second former Orange Julius in Los Angeles above was vacant when this photo was taken in 2012. I believe it has been vacant for at least several years. For more, see this website. |
| Waylan's Ku-Ku Miami, OK |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Ku-Ku was a Midwest drive-in chain with over 200 locations in the mid-1960s. By 1969, the chain had disbanded. Ku-ku refers to the restaurants' cuckoo clock theme. The bird over the roof once "chimed" every hour. Eugene Waylan bought this location in 1973 and renamed it Waylan's Ku-Ku. It is the only operating location left. The dining room in front of the building was not part of the original design. For more, see this website. |
