| When this Dog n Suds became Swony's Drive Inn, the sign was adapted. Swony's was there since at least 2003 and closed around 2005. In 2006, the sign was removed. It is now in a private collection. A new sign was installed when the place reopened as the Doggie Diner. In 2017, the place was known as The Diner. By 2018, the building was housing Taco Movil. [map] |

 |
 |
| This former Dog n Suds was known as the Frosted Mug when the photo at the left was taken in 2006. It featured car hops, homemade root beer, and Cruise Nights. The business closed in 2008. In 2009, the Frosted Mug part of the sign was removed (photo at right). The Char-co Burgers part was apparently used by the Dog n Suds chain. There is another example at the Paragould location. In 2010, the building and canopy were repainted but the place remained vacant. In 2013, the sign was adapted for Demon Dawgs which opened in 2014. That business closed in 2017. The building now houses the El Don Mexican resaurant. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] |

 |
| JB's Drive-in opened Jess' Sandwich Shop in 1937. The current building and canopy were built in 1964 after a fire. At that time, the drive-in became a Dog n Suds. The canopy style and plastic "Root Beer" letters are clearly Dog n Suds designs. In the mid-1970s, the drive-in split off from Dog n Suds and was renamed JB's Drive-in. Around 2012, JB's bought back into the Dog n Suds franchise with permission to remain independent. It served homemade Dog n Suds root beer. JB's closed in 2021 but the building and signs remain. A food truck, operating as Jess' Drive Inn, is currently operating in the parking lot. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] |
