The Dallas based Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin'
franchise opened it's first restaurant
in December of 1968 in Longview Texas.
The prototype restaurant located in San
Antonio opened in March 1968 as Mickey
Mantle's Country Kitchen; but a
Minneapolis-based
franchise chain, Country Kitchen
international owned the
name since 1939, and brought suit against
Mickey Mantle. In agreement with
the settlement, the name was
changed to Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin'.
Mickey Mantle was named
chairman of the board of ten
restaurants and drew a yearly salary of $100,000.
Mantle was fired late in 1969 after the
stock plummeted from $15.00 a share to
$2.00. Despite coming up with the
advertising slogan: "To get a better
piece of chicken You'd have to be a
rooster," Mantle
officially resigned in 1970. Mickey
Mantle's Country Cookin' Inc. then changed
it's name to Invesco International and closed all of it's 11
locations to make a new start in the
firms restaurant operations.
This six inch square quilted pot holder features a country cooking wood
stove at the top, and reads "Mickey
Mantle's Country Cookin'" in the
center. Bellow is the address, "196
Parker St. Lodi, NJ." with the phone
number "Dial 382-2893" at the bottom.
The green country design back, also
borders the front.
