Happy Meals: 1943

Got a last minute lunch
I ate here back in 1993 on my way up to Chicago. Turns out it was sold the following year. As far as I know, it was not re-opened, and I think the building is gone now.
Been there, done that!
I grew up not far from Kentland, and our family ate at the Nu-Joy a few times. Glad to see someplace I've been on Shorpy!
Been there
I drove through Kentland many times on a weekly commute down US-41 from Chicago to Terre Haute.
The Nu Joy Restaurant appears to still be there http://www.bizapedia.com/in/THE-NU-JOY-RESTAURANT-INC.html
[That page is for the corporate entity, not the restaurant, which it lists as "dissolved." The Web is full of these clickbait pages of ancient business records for long-defunct companies. - Dave]

A photo of the entire restaurant (entitled NU-JOY RESTAURANT, GREYHOUND BUS STOP, KENTLAND, INDIANA) courtesy of the Allen County Public Library. Kentland is in the northwest quadrant of Indiana, but not in Allen County. I believe that library (in Ft. Wayne) is known to have excellent historical reference department.
