Here is a rare set of Sandy's blueprints for a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania location.
This is the billboard that greeted memeber of Sandy's corporation at the 1968 Sandy's "Up Up and Away" national convention. Notice the Sandy's motto "Come as you are, hungry!" The cartoon image of the miner is doing just that which was the continuing theme of the Sandy's ads.
Holidays were a favorite time of promotion for Sandy's. This is the "letters to Sandy Claus" promotion for Christmas. In this outstanding promotion, a child would fill out a letter to Sandy Claus, take it to the nearest Sandy's location and receive a hamburger free of charge no purchase necessary!

In addition to ash trays, Sandy's also had zippo lighters which employees could purchase. Dave Lester owned such a lighter as well as a Sandy's watch! The watch and lighter were lost long ago but thankfully he also gave one to his dad who carried it with him for some time and Dave now has provided a scan of it! Please visit Dave's excellent website soon at www.davesplaceinc.com which is Home of the Internationally Renowned Studebakers!

At Sandy's, pencils were used in different ways. At back to school time, they were given out as a promotion. One in particular mentioned joining the munch bunch. Another way they were used was for taking orders. Orders were written on a pad of paper. The pencils in the picture state "join the Sandy's set" which was the promotional tag line presented to prospective franchisees.

Sandy's fan Doug Smith remembers Sandy's in Davenport, Iowa and has two pieces of classic memorabilia including the incredibly rare Sandy's Christmas ruler!
Hi,
I enjoyed looking at your Sandy's website. I have two old pieces of memorabilia from the Sandy's sites of the Quad Cities area. These items probably came from a Davenport location. One is an old metal Christmas ruler, and the other is a plastic cup holder for your car.
Thanks for the great site!,
Doug
