Today on this spot (788 East 222nd st.) sits a car wash. In 1969, the Medved family sold this property to Carrol's (a company that still thrives - read on to see just who you definitely know them as today).
This flyer with coupon is from the pre-Euclid, Ohio location. The location on 222nd street did not share the angular, googie build of the top store but rather the square seen nearer to the bottom.
The Parma Heights location actually still appears to be the same building, although it's now Chinese food and was previously a Pizza Hut. Neat!

Kind of bland, boxy, fast food style restaurant. I would have been heartbroken had there been
2 amazing googie restaurants that were torn down!

I'd never heard of Carrols before. Carrol's was there in 1971 but stayed for little more than half a decade. In 1975, the parent company entered into a franchise with
Burger King, a relationship that lives on presently. Some locations were turned in Burger Kings and all the rest (there were over 150 in total) were phased out.
For nearly a week in September 1976, they were virtually giving away Carrol's coffee mugs. And by late Fall of 1977, the location was in business as a Red Barn.
In 1983/1984, 788 East 222 Street was known as Shalaam Fish House.
