Workers at Berry Neon Sign Systems installed some signs with a retro twist at the new Dick’s restaurant in Edmonds on Wednesday.
While new, the main sign was designed to be identical to the one installed at the company’s iconic flagship store on NE 45th Street in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood.
“The outside of the new Edmonds drive-in is near completion now that the signs are going up,” said Jim Spady, son of the founder of the local restaurant chain. “After this week, all that is left will be installing the grills, fryers and other inside equipment, getting final approval from the various government inspectors and celebrating the grand opening.”
The Edmonds restaurant is the chain’s first new one in 37 years, Spady said. The location was selected in on online poll.
Earlier, he said he expects the new restaurant to be open before Thanksgiving at the location at Highway 99 and 220th Street SW.
Unlike the Wallingford Dick’s, the pylon sign won’t revolve because such signs are no longer permitted by local building codes, Spady added.
