This Roy Rogers location was built in 1969. This sign probably had a rectangular bottom panel originally like this one in New Orleans, LA. These photos are from 2009. In 2012, the sign was adapted when the affiliation with Roy Rogers ceased. The business was renamed Roney's, a reference to its location on Roney Lane. Roney's closed in 2014 reopened at another location in 2015. The sign was moved to the new location in Milford, OH. The Roy Rogers building was housing Chandler Auto Sales by 2019.
