New Jersey-based Howard Johnson has closed its doors to its last restaurant in Lake George, New York.

The property is now for lease.

Nicknamed Ho-Jo, the restaurant was once America’s largest restaurant chain with about 1,000 locations. It was a roadside staple in the 1960s and 70s.

The location had been a popular summer vacation spot for most of the past 70 years.

The Howard Johnson hotel chain is owned by Wyndham and has around 300 locations.
