That controversy over the book led to the closing of a chain of over 1,000 Sambo's restaurants.  The restaurants had been named after its founders, Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnett, but the association with the story led activists to campaign for a name change, and the chain declared bankruptcy by the end of the 1970s.  The flagship location remains in business in Santa Barbara, California.
