Anyone Remember "Satellite Burgerteria's"

We had at least two of these pre-fab hexagon pod-style burger restaurants in Grand Rapids MI in the mid 60's-mid 70's. One in front of the old "Atlantic Mills" discount department store stadium and another in Walker, MI (Standale)across from the Vista Drive in theater. There were 3 red & white hexagon shape sections bolted together and you walked along a cafeteria line with a tray grabbing pre wrapped burgers from a glass enclosed steam box and moved on to fries from under heat lamps and on to drinks & shakes and paying a cashier at the end of the line. They had a counter rotating ball with spiles that lit up with neon that was supposed to resemble an orbiting sattelite. I also remember one of these places in Plainwell, MI just east of US-131 Anyone else remember this place in their area

 Hey try Satellite Burgerteria at www.vintagemich.suddenlaunch3.com or try google. They apparently have some info on it. We never had anything like that here in Texas. I guess the concept just didn't last.

In case anyone else is interested I just found some additional information on Satellite Burger'a at this link. There were 3 operating in suburbs of the Grand Rapids area in the late 60's and early 70's located in Walker, Comstock Park and in Jenison as I remember in addition to one at the M-89 exit of US-131 in Plainwell, MI. The plainwell location was owned and operated by Schwarz's Restaurant in Kalamazoo on S. Westnedge. Satellitite Burgerteria - Albion, MI
