    food was the best coca-Cola is good This crap is fire is bussing NoCap.Dairy King started in the…read moreback room behind Kozy Korner in 1951. Frieda and Orville Von Alst decided Breese needed a place to serve ice cream which has always been a tradition. There was an old soda factory building owned by Charlie Dorries at the corner of Old Route 50 (4th Street) and Walnut, they started to build the original building in 1954, which opened in April 15, 1955. There was another Dairy King located in Carlyle where Carlyle Meat Market is now located. The Carlyle store was open until 1980. The Von Alsts allowed Ed & Rose Ribbing to run Friday night fish fries located in the back of the building. They served fish, fries and slaw. That continued a few years as the next owner took over. Don and Betty Grawe and Jerry & Mary Grawe purchased the business from the Von Alst's in 1967. Betty and Mary ran the business while their husbands worked full time jobs. Betty had her daughters, Vicki Foster and Donna Waller working with them to run the business. In 1969, the Grawe's bought the land from the Von Alsts who had been leasing it to them. The building had white siding and the windows went down to the floor. The Grawes also started the broasted chicken which steamed and fried the chicken at the same time. 20 Years With The Schlueters Jim & Julie Schlueter bought the business from the Grawes in March 1976. The Schlueters remodeled the Dairy King shortly after buying, they bricked the exterior and shortened the windows to half their size. The Schlueter kids, Jackie Sprehe, Jill Dorries and John were also involved with the business. They created some of the items that are still on the menu, such as cheese fries and cheese pretzels. The corndog and gyro were introduced. Jim Schlueter requested an easy to remember number and received 526-4321. The Schlueters brought in fountain Ski and they also wanted a soda that tasted good to the very last drop and they introduced the crushed ice in the styrofoam cups for the sodas.
