Founded in 1949 by used-car salesman Norm Roybark, the restaurants are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are currently 17 locations in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties. HistoryThe first Norms opened on Sunset Boulevard near Vine Street in 1949. The oldest surviving Norms, declared Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument number 1090 in 2015,[1] opened on La Cienega Boulevard in 1957, featuring a distinctive angular and brightly colored style that came to be known as Googie architecture.[2] Key characteristics include concrete walls, large glass windows, jutting roof, and a neon marquee.[2] Many Norms restaurants, including the 1957 La Cienega Boulevard location, were designed by the architectural firm of Armet & Davis to look like automobile showrooms with booths resembling bucket seats.[3] Their appearance has made them the subject of exhibitions curated by the Getty Center.[4][5] In December 2014, the Roybark family sold the family-owned Bellflower-based chain, but not the land each of the restaurants had sat on, to an investor for an undisclosed amount.[6] The Norms restaurant on Pico in West Los Angeles was forced to close on Christmas Eve 2016 because the new landlords refused to renew the lease and had other unspecified plans for the real estate. County assessor records showed that the Roybark family had sold the land in April 2015 for $8.25 million.[7][8] In popular culture
