CHAMPS RESTAURANT

I don't have a lot of information on this, but it was a breakfasty place with several locations in Houston. Not to be confused with Champps Americana. Most of these were derived from purpledevil of the HAIF or other postings on said forum and later updated from phone book listings.

Houston 5300 North Braeswood Boulevard #1, now El Ranchero. Also appears as 100 Braeswood Square
999 Frostwood Drive * #2, incorrectly appears in some listings as 900 Frostwood
* Torn down for a strip center between 1995 and 2002
* That strip center was reduced during the Katy Freeway widening.

Gessner & Interstate 10 Northwest corner, torn down for Katy Freeway widening (maybe, could be the next one down, also demo'd)
11813 Wilcrest Drive * Previously, I had 11814 Wilcrest for an Exxon that replaced the Champs in the south corner of the intersection, since roads run diagonal.
* However, a later source puts it at 11813, which is a full catty-corner from what was previously thought, and thus closer to a shopping center.
* Said to be Jojo's originally
