Famous Attractive Popular Fiberglass Restaurant Sculptures

Description

If you own a restaurant, have you ever thought that putting some restaurant sculptures at the door would be more attractive to customers? Come and see our restaurant sculpture. This is a sculpture of a little boy holding a hamburger. This is the sign in front of the Big Boy restaurant chain. Big Boy was founded in 1936 by Bob Wian in Glendale, California. These restaurants are known as “Bob’s,” “Bob’s Drive-ins,” “Bob’s,” The Home of Big Boy Burgers, “and Bob’s Big Boy. It became a local chain under that name and the nationwide Big Boy name, franchised by Robert C. Wian Enterprises. Marriott acquired Big Boy in 1967. Elias Brothers, one of the larger franchises, bought the chain from Marriott in 1987 and moved its corporate headquarters to Warren, Mich., where it operated until it declared bankruptcy in 2000. After the bankruptcy, the chain was sold to investor Robert Liggett, Jr., who took over as chairman, renamed the company Big Boy Restaurants International, and headquartered it in Warren. In 2018, Big Boy was sold to a group of Investors in Michigan and renamed Big Boy Restaurant Group. The company is the operator or franchisee of 69 Big Boy restaurants in the United States and two in Thailand. And its restaurant sculptures are also very famous.

The restaurant sculptures of the chain are known for its iconic fat boy, with a shaggy haircut and red-and-white checkered cargo pants, holding a big boy sandwich (double cheeseburger). Big Boy’s name and its mascot model were inspired by Richard Woodruff of Glendale, California. At the age of six, Woodruff walked into Bob’s pantry, where Bob Vian was trying to name his new burger. Vivian said “Hello, big boy” to Woodruff, and the name stuck. Warner Bros. animation artist Ben Washam drew a cartoon of Richard as the character on the company’s logo.

In 1955, Bob Wian hired Manfred Bernhard, son of graphic designer Lucian Bernhard, to create a new public image for the Big Boy. Bernhard was unimpressed with Warsawam’s mascot, saying it was sloppy and had a silly look. The West Coast Big Boy mascot was revamped, fiberglass statues were sculpted, plans were drawn up for menus and architectural designs, and children’s comic books were launched. Now the restaurant sculptures are so popular that many people take pictures with it after eating. You can also put some iconic restaurant sculptures in front of your door to help attract customers.
