This awesome Big Boy Neon Sign is a realistic display piece that brings a smile to everyone's face. It's in new condition with original plastic around the base. Bob's Big Boy is a casual dining restaurant chain founded by Bob Wian in Southern California in 1936, originally named Bob's Pantry. The chains signature product is the Big Boy hamburger which Wian created six months after opening his original location. Slicing a bun into three slices and adding two hamburger patties, Wian is credited with creating the original double-decker hamburger. When Wian began franchising his restaurant across the United States in 1940's, he only required franchisees to use “Big Boy” and omit his name “Bob's”. The chain then changed hands several times after Wian sold it in 1967. It was eventually purchased by a group of Michigan investors in 2018, renaming the chains parent company Big Boy Restaurant Group. At its peak in 1989 there were over 240 locations throughout the country that included Bob's name. With the closing of the Calimesa, California restaurant in 2020 only four locations remain using the full “Bob's Big Boy” branding. The metal front fascia was finished in black and decorated with Big Boy with excellent attention to detail. It was outfitted with white, blue and red neon which highlights the artwork.
The support structure is composed of a black finished metal housing. It's equipped with two 120-volt power cords and switches. The sign is in excellent working order. New wood crate is included.
Sign Dimensions: 34”L x 6.5”W x 46”H
