All of the former branches of AJ's are shown on the map below. The colour of the icon tells you whether the restaurant was built by AJ's or acquired from somebody else - it does relate to who operated it. Where further detail is available, you can tap the branch name for information.

Don't forget you can tap the 'layers' button in the top-right corner to switch the map to an aerial view.
