The last surviving Howard Johnson's restaurant has closed.
But Howard Johnson quickly found itself in the shadow of McDonald's and other fast-food chains that maximized efficiency and better managed supply chains. Marriott bought a crippled Howard Johnson in 1985, selling hundreds of the brand's hotels and about 200 restaurants to Prime Motor Inn. That company sold the restaurants to other chains, and they lost the"HoJo" name.
The Lake George location has"seen interest" since it went up for lease late last year, reports News 10. The real estate listing for the 7,500-square foot property Although the Howard Johnson restaurants are closed, the hotel chain is still alive and well. There are about 300 locations and it's currently owned by hotel giant Wyndham.
