Authentic English Fish and Chips Shoppe." Salt sold his restaurants to a national fast food chain wanting to take the formula nationwide in 1969. The new owner was not successful in the large-scale expansion of the H. Salt Esq. chain, and cut its ties with the business by 1987. Franchisees were allowed to purchase their restaurant, a move that resulted in a few independently owned locations that are still up and running today.
