According to The Bawdy Cloiser, this store held its Grand Opening on October 13 & 14, 1962.
The address for this Burger Chef (2004 East Santa Fe Ave) is the same address as the Kentucky Fried Chicken. It is located between the Wonderland Motel on the left and the Arrowhead Lodge on the right, which both appear to be vintage Route 66 motels.
