5060 EXCELSIOR BLVD.

This was the site of a series of drive-ins.

In 1950 this was a model for what was hoped to be a string of Dairy-Mor Drive Ins.

June 4, 1950

 


 

The franchises were being sold by Bud Rodberg and E.D. Perkins.  Bud owned the franchise at 3877 Wooddale Ave.  For a while, Wagner’s Drive-In was a Dairy-Mor, and there was one at 3080 Excelsior Blvd. in Minneapolis.

 

By April 1956 it was the S & K Drive Inn, listed at 5010 Excelsior.  “Coney’s” was their specialty.

 

And in 1960 (below), we see the Park Drive-In, selling pizza, hamburgers, coneys, etc.  The picture was taken in February, so there’s not much action.
