Sapp Brothers Cafe
I had meant to spend a day of the NJ Christmas visit on a Googie hunt, but family stuff, as always, whittled the time down to a mere nub.
But I did get a shot of this old friend as we returned home along I-80. Sapp Bros. is located in Clearfield PA (and twelve other locations, I was surprised to learn).
I am not sure if this is strict Googie, although one web site does list giant representations of what a business does as part of the googie ouevre. But in its humor, I think it is at least honorary Googie.
I have no idea how old it is.
Although the sign indicates an emphasis on coffee, the size of the pot indicates that they are mainly talking about quantity. In fact, I-80 in PA is a coffee wasteland. Gina and I stoke up in NJ, then dash across the entire state of PA in order to stop at the first Starbucks in Ohio.
