You can just make it out on this photo from 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryBooth Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There was one on High Street just above Ponds Forge, think its a chip shop now. That was open into the early hours and I used to go in there after Visiting the Top Rank Suite whilst waiting for the 3 o'clock 95 bus. There was one on Fargate and one on Pinstone Street but I seem to remember that being on a corner. Seem to think we had for a short time a Wendy's near where McDonalds is on the Moor. There is a Fatburger now in London. They are how Wimpy burgers used to be but a lot bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binster Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Thanks to everyone who has responded to my OP. I am amazed that I forgot there were in fact three in Sheffield. I remember Wimpy with nostalgic fondness, although the one we visited today was outrageously expensive and well below par. £18 for two basic meals. I guess some things are best left in the past.

ianparkin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Also I'm sure that the one on pinstone street was just a waitress service place rather than self service pay first etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
