White Tower Hamburgers was a fast food restaurant chain that was founded in 1926 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
[2] The chain was successful and expanded to other cities, including Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Dayton, Detroit, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New York City, Albany, Rochester, Boston, Richmond, Virginia, and as far south as Sarasota, Florida.
The whiteness of the restaurant was meant among other things to evoke the notion of hygienic conditions, and the chain had staff dressed as nurses, dubbed the "Towerettes," to help make this argument.
[11] Many later suburban White Tower restaurants featured curb service with car hops.
Tombrock Corporation branched out into franchising Burger Kings and Golden Skillet Chicken.
[6] Today, Tombrock Corporation, having exited the restaurant business as an operator, is a real estate investment and management company based in New Canaan, Connecticut.
