Paramount Cafe

1953
Paramount Cafe traces its first beginnings back to June 1953, when Dr. John and Alceo Bechtold first opened the first Dr. John-Bechtold Cafe on the streets of Concord, New Hampshire, but the name was only short-lived, lasting only three months.

1977-1981
In 1977, Gulf and Western Industries rebrands Concord Cafe to Paramount Cafe, after the iconic film production company, Paramount Pictures.
