5 Restaurants that Opened in the Fifties and are Still Around Today

1) Wendy's 

Wendy's opened in 1969 and stayed open from then on still in 2021. Many of their customers choose from burgers, french fries, chili, drinks, and their special frosty. 

In the 1960's, they did not have the same logo until it was created in 1969 and worded it with, "Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers." It stuck this way until 2007 when they stuck with only the company name Wendy's.

2) McDonald's 

This fast food place was created in 1948 and they offered a simple selection for their customers including hamburgers and fries along with a drink. This tactic was gonna get them started and then progress into more meals and deserts. 

Today compared to the 1950's people order fries, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, ice cream cones, chicken nuggets, etc. Back in the day, many people did not go through drive throughs but only to physically walk into these fast food restaurants and order a quick meal.

3) Chick-fil-A

This restaurant came into fusion in 1946 and has been alive on the streets today. Chick-fil-A was originally called, "Dwarf Grill."

Based on research the menus during the 50's did not have any pictures but many bulleted lists. The original menu had many items listed such as doughnuts, fried ham, and pimento cheese. 

4) In-N-Out Burger

In-N-Out Burger was opened in 1948 and their menu consisted of burgers, fries, soda, and coffee. Lots of their prices were 10 cents to 40 cents. 

The highest price was 40 cents for a cheese burger and their lowest was 10 cents for a soft drink. Based on from pictures this fast food restaurant does have a drive through. 

5) Jack in the Box

This restaurant was created in 1951 and had menus on a big board on the side of the road of the company. They advertised they had large cold drinks for 15 cents, milk, tacos, apple turnovers, and more. 

Their logo was not painted or created on the building but looked more like a Halloween prop. They visually had the restaurant quite bland and this is not shade but truth.

Black Colored 50’s Accessories for fifters

This a unique box of items that were worn in the 1950’s! I notice there is a pair of glasses and sunglasses. Along with three pairs of polka dot earrings and a silk scarf as well. At the left corner there is a black and white printed headband and a pair of gloves too. There is a total of eight items in this accessory box. My grandmother used to have many of these style of gloves in her closet. When she would show them to me as a child, she would smile so bright and tell me stories of how she got them.

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

Skintight White Lingerie for Those who Love the 50's

This is a sexy white lace lingerie piece for fifters! I notice that this type of clothing has a flower print and has an opening in the middle. This part is smooth and is without any substance on it. This piece has two straps on the side that are meant for tights and have metal at the top and bottom. The material is stretchy and is so adorable. My friend has lingerie clothing just like this one and when she wears this, she has a lot of confidence. She always tells me her boyfriend melts when she is in this piece.
