Dairy King’s location started out as a Marathon station in the late 1920s and then changed owners over the years before landing in the ownership of the Duboise family, who currently own and operate it.

Much hasn’t changed over years inside this place. It still sports a retro theme with red and white checkered walls and red booths. It’s like taking a step back in time when you walk through the doors…and that’s one of the things we love about it.
