Unless I am going mad, I seem to recall maybe in the late 70’s an exact knockoff of the Wendy’s fast food chain called Judy’s- they even had the same interior, right down to the plastic beaded curtains. Can anyone provide any internet history, etc. on this chain. My Google skills seem to be lacking. Thanks! ---
