Board Chairman ReportsLundberg Tells The Sandy's Story

By ANNETTE MURNAN (Star-Courier City Editor)

From a briefcase to a $200,000 building for a headquarters, from one employe to 35 in that head­quarters. from no volume to a volume in excess of 25 million ... all in nine and a half years . . . this is the success story of Sandy’s Francise Inc. Vet. it is only part of the story . . . if not of the Horatio Alger character, at least one only possible in a country where hamburgers are number one on any menu

“Pardon me. if I get nostalgic.” comments Gust E. (Brick) Lund­

berg. chairman of the Sandy's board, as he is pressed for details on how Sandy's began and how it has grown.

"It (Sandy's franchise) all be­gan over a cup of coffee as we kicked around ideas on how we could make an extra 50 bucks,” Lundberg relates.

"We" included C. Paul White, Robert Wenger. W. K Davidson and Lundberg who decided to in­vest in the drive-in food business as a hobby. A short time later, Ken Andris was brought into the group to replace Davidson, who bowed out because of the press

of other interests.Deciding that a Scottish swift

and thrift theme would best serve their purpose, the foursome se­lected the names Scotties, San­dy’s, Bonnie s and Highlanders when they sought to copyright a name for their endeavor. Scot­ties was already copyrighted by the Scott Paper Company, so Sandy's was the next choice, and the one that was copyrighted.

The franchise was incorporated with Lundberg. president: Andris, vice president; Wenger, treasur­er. and White, secretary. Andris doubled as manager of the first Sandy's drive-in which opened Aug. 8, 1958, on Peoria’s Sheri­dan Road.

Sandy’s first office headquar­ters was Lundberg's briefcase which he carried back and forth to his Culligan’s Soft Water Com­pany office, which he owns and. at the time, also operated.

Then, with the success of the first drive-in spurring them on, the foursome from Kewanee opened a second Sandy's—this one in April of 1959 in St. Louis with Frank Naisby. a former Ke­wanee hotel man. as the mana­ger. This expansion necessitated setting up an office, which was established in the basement of Kewanee Industrial Washer Co. on Burlington ave.. and the em­ployment of the franchise's first office employe—Mrs. Eileen Fris- tad. Today she is the franchise’s

Firm’s President Reports140 Stores

21 StatesMartin R. O’Connor, president,

reports that 1967 was a year of accomplishment for Sandy's with most of the goals created being achieved.

O’Connor said, “Sandy's now has 140 stores opened and oper­ating in 21 states and Canada. We opened our first Canadian store this year in Sault Ste. Mar­ie, Ontario, and are very proud of it Our 1967 sales will reach the 25 million level and that will grow considerably in the year 1968.

We are, however, experienc­ing a transition in our business. We were formerly basically a drive-in type chain — today, with seating facilities for ap­proximately 48 people, carpet­ed eating areas, all weather controlled climate conditions and public restrooms, we have moved into the restaurant class, so that now we more commonly refer to our com­pany as 'Sandy's Restaurants.'“Sandy's now has 34 people on

its payroll, and its management and staff will grow in 1968. Prob­ably the greatest sense of ac­complishment in the year 1967 is the completion of the new office building south of Kewanee on the highway."

O’Connor predicted “1968 will be the finest year in the com­pany’s relatively short history. We will begin franchising on the West Coast and in the Rocky Mountain area, along with sever­al new areas. The far west devel­opment will be under a subsi­diary corporation known as ‘Sandy's West Coast, Inc.' Two former Kewaneeans will spear­head the far west development. Don Faull, who has lived in northern California for some 25 years will be in charge of West Coast sales; and Fred Cummings will handle the operational divi­sion of West Coast, Inc. The Rocky Mountain sales will be handled by Bill Hibdon of Den­ver, Colo.

“In 1968 we plan to open 50 new Sandy's stores, with a sales goal of 35 million dollars. Already we have 11 of these stores under construction, with 14 more in various stages of negotiation. Lyle Boley, vice president of

•sales, will be in charge of all sales expansion throughout the United States and Canada. We plan to increase the average sales of all of our units by 25 per cent in 1968. To further be of service to our franchisees Sandy's are installing a computer in our new office building in mid­year. It is further our intention to acquire certain real estate and to build Sandy’s buildings.

“We at Sandy's are modestly proud of our past and look for­ward with eagerness to our fu­ture. We are also proud to be one small part of the Kewanee busi­ness community, and it is our sincere desire to see and to be a part of the continued strides of progress made by our home town,” O'Connor concluded.

Laughery Tells Role in Sandy’s ManagementThe enthusiasm of its people

was responsible, in large part, for Jack Laughery's joining the Sandy's organization.

Laughery of Guthrie Center, Iowa, was a group insurance rep­resentative working on the Sandy's account when he first became acquainted with the drive-in food concern based in Kewanee. He attended a conven­tion at Midland, and says, “I was carried away with the en­thusiasm.”

JACK LAUGHERY

Six months later he joined Sandy's as manager of the St. Paul store, and less than two years later came into the home office. He was vice president of operations for about six months, but now has the assignment of executive vice president. His duties include design of equip­ment for the stores; overseeing the .operational end of the com­pany's equipment; arranging na­tional contracts, and directing the production of training films.

In the design layout for the stores, Laugherty relates that the stores are arranged in order that the managers and employes may efficiently prepare specific menus and products. Hi also oversees the experiments with pre-made products that Sandy's may or may not adopt for its menu preparation.

The training films arc the three minute type used in Show and Tell units. Sandy's considers it­self a pioneer in the field using this type training, having first started using the units two years ago.

Each Sandy's store has a “Show and Tell" unit, and it h? the responsibility of the individual managers to use it in training new counter employes and cooks.

Sandy’s started out with a film entitled “How To Be A Good Window Man." Its library of training films has expanded, with seven additional films just com­pleted. These include: "How to Make A Hamburger"; “How to Toast Hamburgers”; “Shorten­ing"; “French Fries": “How to Prepare a Milk Shake.” and “How to Prepare Carbonated

Drinks.”Three films were done in Elm­

hurst and seven in Kewanee. They are filmed by Wilding Pro­ductions of Chicago, with pnv fessional actors used in the Sandy's settings.

Laughery has also directed the preparation of a Manager's Guide, a book describing each job at the Sandy's store, relating

how to service equipment, and how to maintain records.

He points out that another im­portant aid to Sandy’s employes is the Earl Nightingale record. “How to Win With Sandy’s." It explains to new employes the guidelines of success, concluding that honesty and a smile will go far to helping them along their way.

Hoads Office Inspection of Stores Part of Andris' Work

MRS. EILEEN FRISTAD

Mrs. Eileen Fristad, office manager of Sandy's Franchise, supervises the secretarial, ac­counting, and general office staff in the home office.

As a veteran employe. Mrs. Fristad now directs more people than were employed in the of­fice when she joined the organi­zation back in 1959. She oversees 14 fulltime employes, two part time employes, and two high school students who are working at Sandy’s under the Kewanee High School Diversified Occupa­tions program.

With a background of family restaurant business operation, Jess Andris has brought much food handling and preparation know-how to his position of vice president of operations for San­dy's. He joined the organization five years ago.

Andris’ work takes him to all of the Sandy's stores as he car­ries out inspections to see that Sandy’s standards of quality of product and service are maintain­ed. He also emphasizes cleanli­ness and public relations. In his

12 Items On Menus

“An Important Link

The Hyster Company joins with the Sandy’s Franchise, Inc., in pledging to maintain the highest standards of Quality and Excel­lence in our products and in our community.

Armstrong Responsible For Building PatternThe laminated wood, expansive

beams, and ceramic tile panels that arc distinctive to Sandy's in Kewanee and nationwide were initiated by Robert R. Arm­strong, another native Kewanee- an, who has played an important part in the development of the

, drive-in organization. — «Armstrong sandy's coordin­

ator of design and has been re­sponsible for the building pat­tern stylewise and melhodwise for the drive-in stores, the down­town stores and the new home office building.

Set on a rolling 10 - acre plot that adapts itself to good visi­bility, the new home office build­ing for Sandy’s overlooks Route 78 at the southern entrance of Kewanee. The building's design and location were selected with a view to expansion.

The abstract ceramic tile pan­els across the face of the build­ing look to the west and a sweeping drive. The panels du­plicate in style the Sandy's clan ceramic tiles in the stores, but incorporate different colors. The building and panels take advan­tage of lighting flexibility, using both ground and overhead effects

to enhance the building's impact.The new Sandy's office is a

two story structure with private offices and a conference room on the first floor and additional offices plus a cafeteria and rooms for classes, computer in­stallation, and mail handling

. plus some offices on the lower level. In all there are 12 pri­vate offices in the building. A circular stairway with a strik­ing tile panel coordinate the two levels.

The interior decoration of the Sandy's office was correlated by Armstrong and Louis De­manes, the latter a former Ke­wanee resident now of Peoria, who is widely known for his abil­ity as a contemporary interior decorator.

The bright colors in the offices complement the furnishings and varied accessories used to make each Sandy’s office distinctive for its individual occupant.

The offices are carpeted, but the entranceway in the foyer combines both carpeting and tile. The red. white and black colors of Sandy's own plaid trademark have been used in the entrance foyer, which features a unique waterfall arrangement. One wall

office manager and currently supervises more people than San­dy's employed when she joined the organization.

The headquarters was main­tained in the basement for about two years, before additional fa­cilities were leased from Indus­trial Washer about 1962.

As the Sandy's drive-ins proved successful and the franchise four­some looked to expansion, invest­ors were welcomed into the en­terprise under an investment program. The first investment groups were formed for Sandy's drive-ins at Quincy, Decatur and Moline. Today there are about 75 investors in the various drive- ins. Some are one man-investor operations, but most of them are financed through the cooperation of three or four investors.

Today as Sandy's is “ at home” in its new office building on a 10-acre plot south of Kewanee on R. 78. there are 141 Sandy's ‘'stores" with sights set for 200 by the end of 1968. They are in 21 states and Canada.

Sandy's number 100 store is the Kewanee store, located on Tenney street. Designated as a training center, the Kewanee drive-in opened Aug. 9. 1965 to the delight and pride of the area residents who had long desired a Sandy’s in the franchise's “home­

town''. The Kewanee store has been “very successful ... be­yond our wildest expectations”, Lundberg relatives as he pays Lundberg relates as he pays has received here.

As Sandy’s grew, Lund­berg passed the operation of Cul- ligan's to Gil DeMay and devot­ed full time to the franchise and its development. Three years ago when the “idea” of the original foursome had grown to 80 stores, Lundberg. who is a native Ke- waneean. retired as president of the franchise to become chair­man of the board Martin O’­Connor. a young attorney and native of Kewanee. became pres­ident of the Sandy’s organiza­tion.

Lundberg is well-known in Ke­wanee for the active part he has taken in efforts to secure a jun­ior college and also to further enhance the community's appeal for its residents and newcomers. He has encouraged all Sandy’s personnel to take active parti­cipation in community affairs wherever they are located.

That Sandy's is a community- owned and operated business op­eration is probably best typified by calling attention to the fact that its vice presidents who have guided it to its success have been taken out of their chosen fields of law, veterinary medi­cine. insurance sales and also include a master electrician as vice president of operations!

Kelley Has Key Post In Sandy's Operation

Sandy’s can be termed a "fam­ily enterprise". comments one of its early officials. "Our wives helped with the plans lor the first stores, and have subsequent­ly provided many suggestions that have proved workable and profitable,” relates Chairman of the Board Gust Lundberg.

CONGRATULATIONS

ON YOUR NEW OFFICE BUILDING

Janies C. Kell*

James C. Kelley, a CPA with a nine-year background in public accounting firms, came to Sandy’s a year and a half ago to supervise the largest operational department in the home office. He is the Sandy's comptroller, and as such reports that in the past year Sandy's had in excess of $25 million in gross sales in its 141 stores.

Kelley supervises all account­ing of the Sandy's stores plus the franchise accounting. His staff includes eight women fulltime and three part time.

Each Sandy's store manager pays his store’s own bills and makes his own payroll, but the center office handles the monthly financial statement preparation,

tax record keeping and reports. The stores' managers bank their own receipts and a service bu­reau is used for computerized financial statements. However, Kelley points out, that as the franchise grows, a computer sys­tem installation is in the foresee­able future at the home office here.

Part of Kelley’s work is the holding of accounting class ses­sions in four-day workshops for the store managers as part of their initial training. Every four months, regional meetings are held for post training sessions in which Kelley takes new ideas to the Sandy's managers on how to control labor costs and keep more accurate accounting of in­ventories.

Biddle Company Handles Advertising For Sandy’s

The Biddle Company of Bloom­ington, 111., is the advertising agency for Sandy's Franchise, Inc. They also have offices in Chicago, Kansas City, Little Rock and Appleton, Wis.

This year all stores in Sandy’s will embark on a “corporate im­age" type advertising campaign. The promotion throughout the year will include placing of advertising materials by way of a "media-mix” at all regions where Sandy's stores are located. It will also include furnishing managers of stores with periodic kits which will have all of the necessary adver­tising elements to aid in the promotion of local projects.

The “corporate image” ap­

proach to advertising will give the entire chain an umbrella type approach to all promotions. Each media used, whether it be news­paper. radio, television or bill­board advertising, will compli­ment each other.

The theme for this year in all Sandy’s stores will be Come as you are . . . hungry." All Sandy's locations will be de­signated as "The home of the plaid beret.”

The entire program will be introduced to all managers of stores, owners and investors of Sandy’s, at the annual Sandy's National Convention to be held at the Pere Marquette Hotel in Peoria on March 5-7.

Clark Heads Manager TrainingAll facets of the management

of S="dy’s store are covered in ttiG trimng'progiafh that Charles N. Clark of Davenport. Iowa, carries out as director of man­ager training of the Kewanee based food enterprise.

Clark, who has a background in education, has had on-the-job experience for his job with Sandy's. He managed a store in Davenport parttime for Sandy’s while also teaching before he joined the comoany fulltime.

A battery of tests is used to test applicants for Sandy's man­agement training. The final deter­mination of whether or not the students will become managers is made during the training pro­gram. Most Sandy's managers are between 21-56 years.

Clark has trained 20 managers In the past year in this relatively new department of Sandy's, which was moved from Daven­port to the home office in Ke­wanee in October of 1967.

The classes fbr eight or nine men are held two hours each day

.'Monday through Friday for about six weeks. On-the-job training is done in the Kewanee Sandy's store.

Included in the training are food handling, bookkeeping, ad­vertising and promotion, with special emphasis on service, quality and cleanliness.

It is most rewarding to watch the development of a Sandy’s manager. Clark relates, as he describes the training. “A man­ager takes a special sort of per­son; it (the manager's work) is demanding of time with the re­sponsibility including nearly every day of the year. A manager must be able to work with young people; supervise people; en­courage them to their best per­formance. and have stamina to work.”

Although there are currently no women as managers of Sandy's stores. Clark relates that they wouldn't be excluded. How­

ever, he points out that family responsibilities would probably interfere with women taking the managerships.

Walter Rogers, formerly of LaCrosse, Wis.. is now supervisor of the on-the-job training pro­gram managers at the Sandy's store in Kewanee.

Re-evaluations of the managers after they have been on the job are done by Clark. He said the stores are visited in an effort to help with problems that the managers encounter and to “pick them up.”

The men currently training at the home office include manager- applicants from Oshkosh. Wis.,

Number TOO In KewaneeNumber 100 was a lucky num­

ber for Kewanee on Aug. 19, 1965, for the 100th store in the Sandy's Franchise chain was of­ficially opened that day in Ke­wanee. Although most of the stores in the chain are located in larger population areas, the local store has stood its test well in the form of business. In ad­dition the store here serves as a training center for new em­ployes with the company.

It was almost seven years to the day that Sandy’s in Ke­wanee opened, following the op­ening of the first store in the chain, started on Sheridan Road in Peoria in August 1958.

A mutually successful relation­ship has developed between San­dy’s and Kewanee and no bet­ter example can be found than in the success of the local store.

An orange dominated color scheme brightens the Sandy’s home office cqnference room, which includes an abstract type arrangement at one end that opens out into a blackboard and can also be used for showing ■ films.

Lorrain, Ohio. Tulsa. Okla.. and Kansas City, Kans.

Fred Cummings is directing the training of west coast man­agers for Sandy's. The west coast area is “a little to remote” for the applicants to travel to Kewanee to train, Clark points out.
