Central Park opened its first location in Chattanooga in 1982. The chain expanded to over 60 locations in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Utah. In 2015, there were only 12 locations still operating. Most of the buildings have since been repurposed or abandoned. The buildings have a unique tower-like structure with two drive-through windows. The buildings have a tiny footprint with no interior dining. Some of the locations have an add-on structure at the rear.

If you know of other locations that still exist, I'd love to hear from you.

H. Salt Fish & Chips
Sacramento, CA
H. Salt Fish & Chips
Reseda, CA
H. Salt Fish & Chips
Richmond, CA

The H. Salt Fish & Chips chain was established in 1965 with the first location in Sausalito, CA. There were about 500 locations around the country and Canada by 1969 when the chain was sold to Kentucky Fried Chicken. By 1987, the remaining 60 locations were sold to the franchisees. This Sacramento location was built in 1969 and is the best-preserved example of the surviving locations. Most of the other still-operating locations are in strip malls and don't have pole signs like this. The only other building that I know of that comes close to this is this adapted location in Chesapeake, VA. For more, see this website.

The H. Salt Fish & Chips in Sacramento opened around 1968. [map]

The H. Salt Fish & Chips in Reseda appears to be from the 1960s. [map]

The H. Salt Fish & Chips in Richmond opened in 1967. It has two identical signs on the front and side of the building. The rooftop sign had been replaced with a modern panel by 2007. This business had closed by 2024 but the signs remain. [map]
