I could've sworn we had a thread on this before, but I couldn't find one in the forum search feature.  A small sample of some of the highway shield themed business marquees I've found:

Market California State Route 25 (near Gilroy, CA)

well there is the interstate 710 line of (kinda crummy) cannabis products:



there is also the "57 express wash" in anaheim off lincoln/sunkist.  they use an interstate shield when the 57 nearby is a california state route.

There's a Back 40 Ranch House Grill near Heber City, UT that uses the US Highway shield in their logo. Although "back 40" refers to the 40 acres at the back of a typical homestead farm, the place is in fact on US 40.

Route 11 potato chips (US 11) (more of a logo than a marquee, since it's found on the product inside stores)

Route 110 Auto Sales, with a US shield instead of a MA shield

Pub 97, also with a US shield
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

The Barrel 41 brewery (Neenah, WI) has a pretty good I-41 shield in their logo.

Fifty West Brewery, located on US-50 near Cincinnati, has this weird Interstate-shaped sign/logo.

I swear that sometime within the last 5-10 years I saw a place on I-69/US 59 called "I-59 Auto Sales" or something like that (with an associated shield), but now I can't find it. It was somewhere on the I-69 feeder between downtown Houston and Humble, possibly NB if I remember correctly.

Now we know where people get the idea to use road signs as target practice.

Because of the shield being an Interstate shield, I thought at first this was going to be in Illinois.

I don't have a picture of it but there is a business in Gustine, California with an Interstate 33 shield on it instead of CA 33.

It's closed now, but there's a bar near the intersection of US 41/M-28 and M-95 in Koski Corners called Junction 95 Tavern and Grill.

it is going to take a lot more than a giant cross and some adopt-a-highway crews to clean up that freeway... especially in f**kingham.

Lots of flatness.

Rt 51 Brewery in Elkville, IL uses a US 51 shield as their logo, including on their marquee

I'll grab a picture sometime from the sign out front. The logo is visible at their website route51brewery.com and fb page

Pretty sure Old Rt 51 South BBQ in Anna also uses a US 51 shield, colored in interstate shield colors, as its logo

There's a former 7-Eleven on US 460 Business in Petersburg that became a business that had a 460 shield in its marquee.

All "Phillips 66"  gas stations.
And, formerly, all BP gas stations had the Interstate shield outline on their signs.

US-11 sponsors a brand of chips:



For what it's worth, their current factory is closer to I-81 than US-11.

(Someone else, though, did mention this above. My apologies for overlooking it.)
