Twilight for Howard Johnson's as eight remaining outlets reach edge
The HoJo chain traces its 1925 origins to a soda fountain and grew to hundreds of restaurants and hotels. With closures including a Springfield Vermont unit and the Times Square location fading, only eight HoJo outlets remain across Maine Connecticut Michigan New Jersey Maryland and New York. Franchise Associates runs the brand since 1986 and future plans are uncertain. Local Bangor diners recall the classic lunch counter and milkshake era while noting menus may need updating.
