Howard Johnson’s began in 1925 when Howard Deering Johnson opened a small soda fountain in Quincy, Massachusetts, that quickly grew popular for its rich ice cream and quality food. By the 1930s, he had expanded into roadside restaurants, pioneering the concept of standardized menus and recognizable branding, which appealed to America’s growing population of automobile travelers. After World War II, Howard Johnson’s became a fixture along highways, eventually boasting more than 1,000 restaurants and motor lodges by the 1960s, making it one of the largest and most iconic hospitality chains in the United States. Known for its signature orange roofs, turquoise spires, and the promise of 28 flavors of ice cream, it became a symbol of mid-century American family travel and dining before its decline in the late 20th century as competition from fast-food chains and changing travel habits reshaped the landscape. This customized ceramic coffee mug. It's BPA and Lead-free, microwave & dishwasher-safe, and made of white, durable ceramic.
