	Howard Johnson's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Howard Johnson's is a U.S. chain of restaurants and hotels (now separate companies) which was founded in 1925 by Howard Deering Johnson when he borrowed $2,000 to buy a small corner drugstore in Wollaston, Massachusetts.
		Howard Deering Johnson died in 1972 at the age of 76.
		In 1990, the Howard Johnson name and lodging system were sold to HJ Acquisition Corp., later to become known as Howard Johnson International, Inc. This new company was a subsidiary of Hospitality Franchise Systems Inc., or "HFS", which is now known as Cendant.

		Howard Johnson's successfully promoted the idea that as you were driving the new, modern highways, you should dine at a new, modern Howard Johnson's restaurant.
		Howard Johnson's was no longer alone on the commercial strips at highway interchanges, and appeared to be slowly losing the battle for traveler's road food dollars.
