Published in the Stuart News (31 Mar 1955) with caption reading "New Melita's Drive-In on A1A, Jensen Beach. This attractive new restaurant structure was built by Turner and Thompson, local contractors, for John G. Abbott, former Columbus, Ohio, restaurant man. Grand opening of the new drive-in restaurant is scheduled Saturday." Description of Melitas in the newspaper highlighted its curb service, late hours and "modern fountain."
