Remember the Red Barn? (1973)

I mentioned not long ago that Popeye's Louisiana Chicken occupies a space in the hometown previously held by the now-defunct Red Barn restaurant chain.

I can say I've dined at Red Barn as a youth, at least once. Here's a sample ad campaign from the 70's.



You couldn't get those kind of deals today.

Yay for food puns! I've never visited the Red Barn myself. As far as I know, there weren't any locations in my home state (Maryland) in the 1970 and 80s, but I have seen some ads for the restaurant at it's nostalgia based website barnbuster.net.

I could've used ads with puppet mascots---and still could---but this was a better option.
