Druther's

Description

Druther's traces our history back to 1956, when Harold and Helen Kite opened the first Burger Queen restaurant in Winter Haven, Florida. In 1961, business partners George Clark and Mick Gannon bought franchise rights and permission to expand the chain to Kentucky. Druther's, a former Dairy Queen® territory operator covering Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois and West Virginia, has been headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky since 1961 is and headed by Robert Gatewood and his son-in-law Brian Easley. Our company is proud to currently partner with and provide support to locally-owned and operated Dairy Queen Restaurants. Druther’s recently turned 60 years old. In those six decades, we've created over 350 businesses in ten U.S. states and multiple foreign countries. We look forward to the next chapter of the Druther's story, and we thank all of those individuals and families who have been a part of the company, or who we have had the privilege of serving at our restaurants.
