Talk:Leon's Frozen Custard

Untitled
"May have been" the inspiration for Arnold's? Not according to the linked articles. I'm changing the wording. If anyone has evidence that casts doubt on the claim please post. In the absence of such, I think we can give Leon's the credit. --Chancemichaels 01:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels

The other Leon's
This article may give undue prominence to the Leon's Custard in Milwaukee, versus the Leon's in Oshkosh. The second restaurant, in Oshkosh, was started by the mother of the original Leon's. This was in 1947 when the first one was incorporated. Both locations have the same "retro" (current at the time they started) look with the same pink motif. They both use the same suppliers and serve the same custard.

It's not as though one of them is a "fake" Leon's that that somehow managed to steal the name. The recent court case was about whether the original Leon's could control over the Oshkosh restaurant such that it could prevent them from adding hamburgers to the menu.) The court found that both restaurants had the right to the name (and their own control) and that the locals recognize their respective restaurants as being the "real" Leon's.

So how did the Milwaukee Leon's come to own the name "Leon's" from the perspective of Wikipedia? Perhaps the article ought be rewritten so that it's not just an advertisement for the one in Milwaukee.

Yes I've been to both; they are less than 90 minutes away from each other (though I live about 1,000 miles away :)

If there is no rationale for relegating the Oshkosh restaurant to some quasi-fake status, as the article currently suggests, I volunteer to rewrite it so that both are acknowledged up front, a little history is given, and each gets its own section. The Milwaukee restaurant would probably still have a bigger section, since (a) it was first (b) it has photos (c) the Oshkosh section will probably read something like: "same as above except for minor blah blah". I would expand the court case, maybe into a section, because it's interesting from a legal standpoint in and of itself. Dicirnah (talk) 06:09, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
