I remember them. They used to sell KFC.

I remember when Gino's used to sell a "Hero Burger" which was a rectangular burger on a sub roll. My favorite was the Hero Burger with Cheese. Delicious...another tasty '70s treat.

The best burger was the "Gino Giant". tasted great. Do You remember the name of the boy on the sign holding up the bucket of chicken?

Talking about Gino's at work today and when thinking about the good ole days, yes, the Gino's Giant and the Gino's Hero Burger are engraved as part of the good ole days, good food to eat good memories to remember.

The ginos giant was much better the the big mac or the whopper in my opinion.

I worked @ Gino's in the 70's. The best aapple pies - deep fried - the special was $1.29, the dinner was $1.79 and the thrift box was $3.99, the bucket was $6.99 and the bucket was $8.99. The Hero burger was not as good as the Gino Giant. The good old days... The store was in Ridley Twp Pa.

Your description couldn't be more wrong. While I do remember Gino's going downhill late in the 70's, they had over 300 locations at the time and were bought out by I believe Marriot who changed the restaurant to their stinking Roy Rogers with the horse meat roast beef. Gino's did not fold up, they sold out. And had the best burgers.

The Gino's giant was absolutely better than the Big Mac. I remenber when they went out of business and I had my first Big Mac. What a let down. I am not a fast food junky, but I do remember going to Gino's on the way down to the Jersey shore. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end.

they were bought up by Marriott International and turned into Roy Rogers What a shame

I've worked for Ginos's in the 70's and was a manager in the following stores. Marlton, Berlin,Mt Ephraim, Vineland, Stratford, and Turnersville. The Big Mac was the best sandwich ever.

I grew up in Philly and we use to go to Gino's resturant all the time. I use to love the Hero hamburgers and vanilla milkshakes! It would good if they came back in business... just to mess up the competition! hahaha

I was just talking to my son and his girlfriend about the Gino's slogan - "Gino's is the place to go." Really loved the Gino's Giant until they came out with the Hero Burger. The Hero Burger, large fries and strawberry milkshake was my favorite meal everytime our family went to Gino's.

Boy oh Boy....I sure would love to have a Hero Burger or Gino Giant today! They were the best eva.

I remember growing up, we didn't have much at all. Going to Gino's was an absolute treat and I remember with great pride being old enough to get a Gino Giant all for myself. Definitely tasted better than the Big Mac. I remember the store in Roxborough, PA, near the Domino Lane shopping center. Ah, good times!!

There was a Gino's on McClean Blvd in baltimore just down the street from my elementary school. We were also treated to Gino's when our little leage team won the championship. I remember that $1 would feed you and you got change back.

If you're a Gino's fan, go to facebook and search "Everybody Goes to Gino's" for BIG news.

I am now forty-three and can still taste a Gino's Giant, what a memory. I always said if I hit the pick-6 I would find the owner and bring them back that was my best memory of hillside,NJ I now live in Durham, NC wish they were here so my daughter could taste what had in life so good.Love Gino's Forever....

Man, my mouth waters whenever i think about them GIno Giants and The Hero. Best burgers ever made, loved that square Hero with cheese and a shake. Those were the good ole days in baltimore.

I used to always go to the Gino's on MacDade Blvd. in Ridley Twp. back in the 70's. The Gino Giant was the burger of choice. They really were the best and I miss Gino's a lot. The reason I found this site is we were talking about it last night and tonight we are making some homemade Gino Giant Burgers!! Wanted to see if I could find a picture or recipe. From what I remember the sauce was the right blend of Mayo and Ketchup (hey, it's homemade so we have to make do) on top of a double cheeseburger. I'll write back and let you know how they came out.

Well, they didn't exactly come out the way I remember them, but they were still pretty good. Hardest part it trying to get the burgers that thin without falling apart. So the burgers puffed up a bit making them awkward in the bun. Would love to see Gino's make a comeback. They really were one of the best of their day.

I worked for Gino's at the Trevose Pa. restaurant through my junior and senior years. When I graduated high school and went to college Gino's helped support my education. Upon completing college I went in the management and had a total of 9 years with Gino's I'am currently very interested in getting more info about this historic come back. Gino's was my all time favorite place to work. I meet my wife at Gino's and we are still married for 31 years. If anyone want to reach me my email address is kemenes2249@msn.com

I worked at Gino's in West Caldwell, NJ in the early/mid 70's. and love reminicing, reading the memories here. Question to those who also worked there - what did they sell to go with KFC? I don't recall potatoes, cole slaw or biscuits. (What did you get in the thrift box - just chicken??)

This one makes me smile. We used to go to Gino's way more than we did any other fast food place. My all time favorite sandwich was the Hero which was way better than the Big Mac. When I was young, I had to have surgery around Christmas time. The anesthesia made me violently ill, and it was a while before I wanted food. The minute my appetite came back, I asked for a Hero and fries from Gino's. It was soooo good. Later, there were rumors of rat infestation and soon after that they closed Gino's down. Sometimes when I drive by the old place(it's a cleaners now) I get a little lump in my throat. I miss Arby's too and Arthur Treacher's but not as much as Gino's.

I started working for gino,s from 1973 to 1979 at broad and snyder phila, pa. I have many old photos of the building patio counter mid section and the famous chicken room from cooking with the pressure pots and lids to the famous stste of the art collectramatics.What a great place it was to work and at only 1.50 an hour.Onfriday nights we made more giants than any other sandwich and at that time they were only 55 cents each.Our store was so busy all the time, the company enlarged our patio to occupy 200 people. Our store number was 04077.Our store was built in 1972 in the heart of south Philadelphia.Gino Marchetti came to see our store and was very impressed about how clean it was.I met a girl Diane there and married her in 1983. I am going to start sending my photos into the website soon. So many people are going to enjoy them very much,so stay tuned Ialso have the original menu board picture still hanging proudly on my garage wall and my limited edition license plate that i use to have on the front of my 1967 fairlane back in 1973.We all had some great relationships there and it wasn,t like going to work, We just had so much fun working there.Unfortunatly the store was torn down in 1993 and a wallgreens now rests on that great spot.I can't wait to send the pictures of all of us standing next to our clean stations at the end of the night.

I do remember me and my family going to get the bucket of chicken along with the biscuits that were out of this world & the Gino Giant burgers. The Gino Giant was the tops & i remember saying that the bigmac was just to small and didnot tast anything like the Gino Giant. Somone needs to bring it back and hope they would make it the same.

I remember a Gino's in Levittown PA Near the Oxford Valley Mall. Does anyone remember where that was exactly?
