Above is one of those ads masquerading as an article that appeared in the Journal’s business section. It appeared in the paper back on January 17, 1972. It features a nice photograph of Sandy’s manager Larry Rounds and veteran counter waitress Opal Roark. They both worked at the restaurant on Meister Road.
Strangely, the article makes no mention of the fact that Hardees had bought all of Sandy’s stock in late November 1971. I guess that’s because the original intention was that the two hamburger chains would maintain their own brands. But as we know, that wasn’t the case, and the Sandy’s name would soon disappear – and be largely forgotten fifty years later.

...Sandy's is actually the one I remember more than any other from Lorain - it was a few minutes' bike ride from our house on West 37th, and that put it head and shoulders ahead of McDonalds, the closest of which were on West Erie and Colorado. Hardee's was good, but when they took over the prices went out of reach of my allowance.
