There was a McD's near me that had a few mid 90s PB HB Carriage Houses without lights, but the place was torn down and rebuilt into the new cafe style McD's, with no fans. Another MCD's had some PB early 90s HB 42" Southwinds (Landmark-style), but they were replaced by the new Home Depot-style Hunter Greenwiches a few years ago. On the subject of fast food though, most Burger King's I've been to have Brushed Nickel Modern Fan Co fans, either the Ball or the Cirrus Hugger. I did see a BK that had chrome Casa Delta II's or III's. But my local BK has no fans The Wendy's around here are all newer and have no fans.

Awesome photos! Love the shot of lil' you in a fan store, Dan. I'd pay good money to have been in that store in that time period.
Up here in Washington, ceiling fans were never a "must-have-everywhere" thing. Many businesses never had ceiling fans. Most Burger Kings here were the exception as far as chains go; they usually had AB Casa Zephyrs, sometimes with those hexagonal brass-bound beveled glass shades. One local Burger King had PB Four Seasons. There WERE, however, lighting stores (like Seattle Lighting Fixture Co.) with gigantic fan clouds, though I never took pictures. I got a lot of my catalogs there - and no one ever mentioned the prices printed on the front.

BTW not many fast food places around here have fans. There was a McD's that had some PB HB Carriage House I's without lights, but they got removed when the building was demo'd and another McD's was built with the new "cafe style". Another McD's had a bunch of PB 42" HB Southwinds (the SMC-made Landmark-style ones with 4B). They got replaced by the recent Home Depot-style Hunter Greenwiches in a remodel. I did, however, once see a BK that had CHROME Casa Delta II's or III's with white blades. They were on medium and that was a rare sight. This was a rather contemporary BK built in the early 2000s possibly with tiled ceilings. Never seen an open beam ceiling BK with Originals or other types of fans, though. A Wendy's had an AB Casa FS Vari-Speed with cane/oak blades, and an AB Casa Delta I GEV with oak blades and I believe stencil. Unsure if they're still there or not. Another Wendy's had some PB Casa 4B Delta II's with oak blades and their traditional schoolhouse lights. The other Wendy's had (has) two PB HB 52" Landmark III Pluses that probably replaced older Casas. The HB's aren't there anymore as far as I know, not like I care or anything. They were dirty, wobbly, and noisy. I've never been to another Wendy's that had fans.

Lol I know! But at least the fans gone from the places I said were either crappy or they got replaced by nicer fans
