PHOTO INDEX: "STOP 'N GO" RESTAURANTS.
STOP ‘N GO
One of the places closely linked with WARM Radio was a fast food restaurant called “Stop ‘N Go”. Long before McDonald’s or Burger King came into the area, “Stop ‘N Go” was the place for 15 cent hamburgers and good crispy fries. “Stop ‘N Go” was one of the unofficial burger hangouts as well as a place where WARM listeners could get the weekly WARM survey sheet or even a copy of that now famous 45, “The Ballad of WARMland.” “Stop ‘N Go” eateries left the WARMland road map in the 70s with the addition of places like “Top Spot”, “Carroll’s” and the major chains. But in the memories of WARM listeners, “Stop “N Go” was the place to have a snack as you headed out to a game, date or cruise with the Mighty 590 tuned on the radio.
Brian Hughes, News Director of the current incarnation of WARM (the station airs Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel) wrote this note about Pal's Restaurants. "Don't forget about "Pals" among the fast food joints. They had 2 locations, at the top of Moosic Street in South Scranton, where Dunkin Donuts now stands, and at the Viewmont Mall in Dickson City, just down from the old "Barrells Whiskey & Rhyme".

"Pals" hamburger joint also had a location in Clarks Summit. It was next to McDonalds and was converted to a long John Silver's. It was most recently a doughnut shop.
I don't remember Stop & Go in the Viewmont Mall Area, but at on Keyser Avenue in North Scranton, where Jiffy Lube is now. Also, not sure on this one, but I think there may have been one on Lackawanna Avenue in Scranton.
I remember our family of seven would "Stop N Go"there on Moosic Street in Scanton,Pa on our way to visit our Grandparents in Wilkes-Barre,Pa...what a treat...and what a bargain...feeding a family of 7 for less than $5.00 !!!
There was a Stop ‘N Go fast food burger joint in Phillipsburg, NJ. I’m 60 years old now but that is my first experience of a fast food burger as a child!
I was a grill man at pals 1972

Yup, I ate there in the 60s and early 70s maybe
We visited Scranton from NJ often in the 60's & 70's. Dad grew up there. Stop and Go was the high point of the trip. So was swimming and the arcade at Nay Aug park. This when a dollar or two of loose change went a long way.
Stop and Go. Edwardsville PA. I was just a kid eating there in the 60's and early 70's. The most amazing cheeseburgers and fries-always hot-awaited me on each visit. It sadly closed for good in 1974 and was replaced by another wonderful place called The Polonian which had the best sausage sandwich most folks have never tasted. Like it's predecessor it has vanished into the mists of time. But wait a minute-maybe that joint was a couple doors down to the left-it all gets a bit hazy when you're 62-but the food was lots better way back when and for the longest while Stop and Go was THE hangout.
I was too
I saved $2300 working at pals for a year around 1972 my name is ken
I, also ate at stop n go as a young teenager back in the late 60's at the narrows shopping center. In Edwardsville, grew up in the best of times....!
