S&W Cafeteria
S&W Cafeteria was a Charlotte, North Carolina-based chain of cafeteria style restaurants. The chain specialized in low-cost, southern style cookery. Branch locations were located in the Southeastern United States from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, Georgia.
==History==
The company was organized in 1920, by Frank Odell Sherrill and Fred Weber who had served as mess sergeants together in World War I.〔Historic Asheville S&W Update, by Mark Barnett, ''Asheville Citizen Times'', May 29, 2007.〕 The operation originated at Ivey's department store. Its initial restaurant was located at 100 W. Trade Street in downtown Charlotte. By 1934, when the first Washington, D.C. location opened, cafeterias were located in Atlanta, Georgia; Asheville, Charlotte, and Raleigh, North Carolina; Chattanooga and Knoxville, Tennessee; and Roanoke, Virginia. By the early 1950s, locations had opened at Greensboro, North Carolina and at Pittman Plaza, in Lynchburg, Virginia. Many of these locations were designed by noted Charlotte-based architect Martin Evans Boyers.〔(Finding aid to Martin Evans Boyers Papers, 1910-1993; University of North Carolina Charlotte, Manuscript Collection 94 (retrieved Sep 6, 2008) ).〕
The original cafeterias were located in busy downtown areas, often located near bustling theater and shopping areas. The early locations were quite opulent (designed in Art Deco style) and were the site of numerous local business and political gatherings. During the 1960s-1970's, as suburban shopping centers opened and downtowns declined, S&W followed the trend by closing their downtown locations. In 1964, 16 locations were in operation.〔"New S&W Cafeteria," ''The Washington Post, Times Herald'', Sep 20, 1964, p. C12.〕 Into the 1990s, the mainstay clientele were the elderly who appreciated the home style meals at low prices.
