Also back in our 1956 clip . A young man , Jim Collins , Owner/Manager of Hamburger Hand-Out in Culver City. You might know his other foodservice legacy Sizzler Steak House. A good friend through out the decades.

Lets review facts posted on our website.

1) Ships Coffee Shop was the first in Dec 1956
to have toasters at both counter and table in the USA.
.
2) Ships was the first Dec 1956 to install the Cantilever Counter Seat. Mounted in a base of concrete& terrazo. It was state of art design in 1956.
(Allowed for total floor cleaning any time day or night.)

For 40 years the design stood the test of 24/7/365
high volume foodservice use by over 50 million customers.
See website for details.

In 1956 a small restaurant opened to the public. Once the door were opened they were never locked 24/7/365 days a year for a long time. This is dedicated to the Ship’s founders. We have placed a press clip from the opening on the web site. We thank the many million customers of Ship’s for all your support .

We hope you will find it interesting. There are new things and
things from the past.  This area will be where our thoughts on
a range of issues will be posted. We thank the over 50 Million
customers for Ship's place in history.
