Today at 27591 Euclid Ave., stands a Save A Lot grocery store. The store itself was built as a Save A Lot. Remember what was there before?
Well, the land was sold to SVH Realty in October of 2000 from Manner's, you know, Big Boy.
I wonder if it's the norm to give a new building the same exact address as the old. Maybe? Interesting.
Above is an October 10th, 1963 ad promoting Manners, home of the Big Boy, turning 30, and also announcing the restaurant opening at Euclid Ave. and E. 276th St. Features included electronic car service and covered canopies. Neat!
And as if things couldn't get better, you also get a dollar off Manners carryout barn of "country cousin" chicken. This just sounds weird and probably delicious.
In December 1963, Judy Doll (Miss Teenage America) made a stop in Cleveland and checked out the new Manners. Her trip was uneventful, but in a good way. They tried to give her egg nog but only skim milk is allowed on her never-gonna-get-fat-diet. Also pictured are Orange high students Ellen Jacobs and Chris Manners.
A want ad from May 26, 1969 looking for waitresses and a car hostess.
Look at all these locations. Manners Hot Line advertisement from January 22, 1971
The following ad for Manners on Euclid Avenue was looking for waitresses and car hostesses again. Readers, did any of you work for a Manners restaurant? I'd be curious to know just how outstanding the company benefits were.
Also something to note: It's called "Manners Big Boy". May 17, 1973
Still called Manners Big Boy in this want ad that includes several other area restaurants. September 29, 1976
I was born in 1980 and we used to hit Bob's Big Boy quite a bit. Both Euclid locations, the Willoughby location, and I'm sure some West side of Cleveland, too.
I suppose "drive-in" was an old fashioned concept, so it was replaced with drive-thru. This ad and Bob's Big Boy coupon are from May 11, 1979.
The last ad I could find was from Spring of 1986. I'm not sure when Manners California Style Restaurant/Manners Family Restaurant/Manners Big Boy/Bob's Big Boy closed, but the map below, from top to bottom, shows 1970, 1994, and 2001.
In 1970 there are cars in the parking lot, and all three canopies can be seen.
In 1994, the parking lot looks very tired, and although the restaurant is there, the three canopies are gone.
By 2001, the Save-A-Lot grocery store had taken Big Boy's place at 27591 Euclid Avenue.

Here's a snapshot of Leslie Rubenstein and Sandy Ruggiero, hard at work in 1965.
