Bridgeton, NJ

North Pearl Street
#31-289

This is where I first started working for BC while in high school in 1968.  It was on North Pearl Street, and is now a diner.  The next time I'm down that way, I'll get a picture.  It opened around 1964 and closed around 1972.  The franchisees who owned this store also had stores in Freehold, NJ on Rt. 33, and another one in Oakhurst, NJ.

I was down around my old stompin' grounds today, and got a couple of pics of the former Burger Chef in Bridgeton, New Jersey. This store, #31-289, opened in 1964 and closed around 1972. It was where I started working for BC in late 1968 as a crew member, and was promoted to Assistant Manager before I left to go into the military in late 1970.

The first pic shows the store from the front. Many additions and remodels have taken place, and it really isn't very recognizable anymore.

The second picture looks a little more familiar, to those of us who remember.

I may have some more pics of some other locations before too long.
