Dairy Barn

Dairy Barn was a chain of regional convenience stores located on Long Island, New York, with headquarters in Elwood, New York. The stores were distinguished by their drive-through feature and their red barn appearance with little red silo.

The peak number of operating Dairy Barn stores was approximately 70.[1][2] Although as of 2018 the corporate website is extant and lists five remaining store locations,[3] the last Dairy Barn closed in 2014.[4]

History

In 1939 Edgar Cosman, a Swiss textile manufacturer with business interests in the United States, purchased a dairy farm on Long Island. In 1961 Cosman's son, Dieter Cosman, expanded the dairy's wholesale milk business into a chain of retail, drive-through convenience stores named "Dairy Barn."[5]
