Howard Johnson Franchise

Hotel

With an advance of $500, Howard Dearing Johnson obtained a little patent drug shop in Quincy, Massachusetts, in 1925. He utilized an antiquated, hand-wrenched cooler in the store's storm cellar to make vanilla, chocolate and strawberry frozen yogurt for the shop's pop wellspring. After three years, with menu increases like franks and ground sirloin sandwiches, he opened the primary Howard Johnson's Restaurant. By 1935, there were 25 Howard Johnson frozen yogurt and sandwich remains in Massachusetts. After five years, with more than 100 eateries on the Atlantic Coast, Johnson opened the main road eatery on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In 1954, when the organization worked 400 eateries, the primary Howard Johnson lodging opened in Savannah, Georgia. After Johnson's child assumed control over the organization in 1959, it was in this way procured by three unique organizations before Cendant Corp. purchased the inn network in 1990. Howard Johnson Int'l. establishments offer mid-evaluated holding up at Howard Johnson Plaza Hotels, Howard Johnson Hotels, Howard Johnson Inns and Howard Johnson Express Inns. Youngsters remain free at Howard Johnson, and Road Rally and AARP offer senior rebates at the lodgings.
