The Dallas based Mickey Mantle's
Country Cookin' franchise opened it's
first restaurant in December of 1968 in
Longview Texas. The prototype
restaurant located in San Antonio
opened in March 1968 as Mickey Mantle's
Country Kitchen; but a
Minneapolis-based franchise chain,
Country Kitchen international owned the
name since 1939, and brought suit
against Mickey Mantle. In agreement
with the settlement, the name was
changed to Mickey Mantle's Country
Cookin'..
Mickey Mantle was named chairman of
the board of ten restaurants and drew a
yearly salary of $100,000. Mantle was
fired late in 1969 after the stock
plummeted from $15.00 a share to $2.00.
Despite coming up with the advertising
slogan: "To get a better piece of
chicken You'd have to be a rooster,"
Mantle officially resigned in 1970.
Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin' Inc.
then changed it's name to Invesco
International and closed all of it's 11
locations to make a new start in the
firms restaurant operations.
The six piece
table settings and the coffee mug were
made by Shenango China U.S.A. The
bottom of each plate and mug features
the Shenango China U.S.A. makers mark.
Along with
the mark is a code which
signifies the year made. T-27, and H-27
were made in 1969, G-26 was made in
1968.
"Mickey Mantle's Country Kitchen"
plates from the original prototype
restaurant in San Antonio have surfaced
into the hobby but are extremely rare.
The full six piece Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin' table set consist of; 1 - 9.75 inch dinner plate, 1- 9
inch soup bowl, 1 - 7 inch plate, 1 - 6
inch salad bowl, 1 - 7.25 oblong bread
plate, and 1 - 4.75 vegetable dish. The
coffee mug holds 1 cup of liquid.
