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] |

The first Royal Castle was built in Miami, FL in 1938. By 1960, there were 175 Royal Castles in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Ohio. Early photos of the Ohio and Florida locations show the same "Fit for a King" terrazzo floor. The first location in Cleveland opened in 1940. By 1947, there were four locations in town. By 1955, there were 15 locations. The mid-century modern locations in the South looked nothing like the Cleveland buildings shown here. The last operating Royal Castle location is in Miami, FL.
The Royal Castle building design documented below is from around 1963, as evidenced by this patent. This vintage photo shows one being built. These locations closed in 1974. I don't know if there were any other locations built using this design. For more, see this website. |

| There were at least eight Whopper Burger locations in San Antonio at one point. Burger King bought out the company in the mid-1980s and began building their own locations in town. Some of the old Whopper Burger locations were taken over by Murf's Better Burgers. As far as I know, there are only these three buildings left. |
