In his travels, Russ would always look for a good hamburger place. “There was this one place...where they made a hamburger how I liked them. It had nice thick slices of onions in it, tomatoes and lettuce, the whole thing was pretty good.”

Dale purchased an unnamed restaurant in Oakland, andsuggested to Russ, “Why don’t we build a little chaintogether?” They chose to call it Nation’s, now trademarked.Oakland was first to display the new signage as Nation’sGiant Hamburgers.

For many years our workers made their own uniforms. It’s great to look back and see how the styles are so representative of the times.

Grant Power became the new president of Nation’sFoodservice Inc., while Dale Power transitioned to chairman of the board
