The Luau, Stockton, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

A abstractiki Tiki Socialite Lodi, CA Joined: Aug 29, 2009 Posts: 606	A abstractiki Posted posted on Mon, Oct 19, 2009 5:56 PM I found this add for The Luau restaurant in a Stockton library phone book. It was a Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. book from 1974. This is the only year I found it advertised from 1958 to 1980. It lists Jimmy Dunn in the add, most likely the owner. I visited the site and found the shopping center but not a trace of the Luau. I have also asked around town and nobody that I have talked to remembers this place. Note the Moai and Luau font. These are the same as The Luau restaurant in Fresno CA. Possibly owned by the same family? Chain restaurant? If any one has any info on this place please post it here. 1974 phone book add current photo of Sherwood Plaza sign Happy Hunting! Abstractiki
