Roy Rogers dotted the landscape of New Jersey when I was growing up. Sadly in the competitive fast food market, they just couldn’t keep up and they did not make it.

I wonder if they had put up some of these old style signs, if it would have helped keep Roys in business.

I did not know that they had any Corporate-Owned Restaurants anymore. Learn something new every day.
We still have 1 in Ohio and a few of us plan a trek there once in a while. It’s like the Islaam Trek to Mecca.
