A little history

The Howard Johnson Company was founded in 1925 starting out as concessions stands on beachfront property along the coast of Massachusetts. The stands sold soft drinks, hot dogs, and ice cream. Later Johnson was able to convince local bank owners to lend him enough money to operate a sit-down restaurant. The first Howard Johnson's restaurant opened in Quincy, Massachusetts in the late 1920s. In 1954 the company decided to open the first Howard Johnson's motor lodge in Savannah, Georgia. In 1979, Johnson accepted an acquisition bid from Imperial Group PLC of England and sold the Howard Johnson's company to G. Michael Hostage for over $630 million.

Standing the test of time

One year later, in 1986, Marriott sold all of the company owned and franchised motor lodges to Prime Motors Inns. Prime Motors Inns continued to preserve the lodges, just as Marriott had. In 1990, Prime Motors Inns ceased operations. Those involved with the company owned and franchised motor lodges banded together and formed the "Howard Johnson Acquisition Corporation." They successfully obtained all the rights to operate and maintain the company-owned and -franchised lodges. With these rights maintained, they changed their name to "Howard Johnson International Incorporated," which became a subsidiary of "Hospitality Franchise Systems Incorporated," which eventually merged with other companies to form Cendant. When you visit the Howard Johnson Inn Yankee Stadium today you will find that Wyndham operates the Howard Johnson brand under many "tiers," based on price, level of amenities, and services offered. Howard Johnson Express Inns, Howard Johnson Inns, Howard Johnson Hotels, and Howard Johnson Plaza Hotels range from limited-service motels to full-service properties with on-site concierges and business centers.
