Dyer's Burgers - Memphis, TN - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

The neon sign outside Dyer's Burgers is a vertical installation of the word Dyer's with the apostrophe included on the S. The letters are orangish in color and have white circles around the letters. Behind that is a googie inspired set of arrows in green and orange aimed at the establishment. Below that it says BURGERS SINCE 1912.

"Back in 1912, the late Elmer "Doc" Dyer opened his own cafe and began to develop a secret cooking process for the uniquely delicious world famous burgers we still serve here today on Beale Street. Legend has it that the "secret" was Doc Dyer's ageless cooking grease. This famous grease , strained daily, has continued to produce our juicy Dyer's Burgers for almost a century now. One of "Doc's" original employees, Mr. Kahn Aaron bought the establishment in 1935 and continued the Dyer's name and tradition of famous burgers. The Dyer's legacy continues to this day. Over the years, this famous cooking grease has been transported to our various Memphis locations under the watchful protection of armed police escorts, finally settling here on Historic Beale Street, Home of the Blues and World Famous Dyer's!"-Dyer's
