History of Conyers

Waffle House Museum RoadyGoat

The original Waffle House opened in Avondale Estates, Georgia on Labor Day 1955. It's now a museum preserving the first counter, stools, and jukebox. The chain grew to 2,000 locations, all open 24/7. FEMA developed the unofficial Waffle House Index — if the local Waffle House is closed, the disaster is catastrophic. No other restaurant chain measures emergency severity.
