There was one in Irving at the Northwest corner of Irving Blvd. and Loop 12. I believe the year was 1953. I remember their slogan was "There is a meal in a wheel", and a "Hub" was a small hamburger, a "Spoke" was a hot dog, and a "wheel" was a giant hamburger. The couple that owned it worked very hard, but did not do well. It was only there for a couple of years, probably because of the dairy queen less than a block away. I also remember that the hamburgers we're really tasteless and looked like they had a cardboard filler in the meat. Too bad they didn't have better quality management at the franchise level, or they could have been the McDonald's of the 50's.
