Beatties Ford Road was once known as the major commercial corridor, US HWY 16. Thus, automobiles and trucks became the principal means of transportation through this area. Inevitably, the epicenter of heavy pass-through transportation, structures which had eye-catching colorful signs which catered to the automobile such as motels and restaurants rapidly became present throughout the area. Not only did Fat Boy Platter's building appeal to the public, their plentiful menu also brought in the business.
