History
The restaurant was established by Milo Carlton, who, on April 16, 1946, opened Milo's Hamburger Shop in Birmingham, at 31st Street and 12th Avenue North. The restaurant moved to 2820 10th Avenue North in 1963. Milo's began selling franchises in 1983; the first franchise location, at 509 18th Street South in Birmingham, opened February 7, 1983.[5][6] Since the 1980s, they also distribute their own tea brand in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, as well as parts of the Florida panhandle, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.[4][7] The tea company split off in 2002.[8]
