Isaly's
Date EstablishedLocation1918Ohio
Description
Isaly's was a chain of family-owned dairies and restaurants started in Mansfield, Ohio, with locations throughout the American Midwest. It is known today for chipped chopped ham and for creating the famous Klondike Bar ice cream treat, popularized by the slogan "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?". Assorted problems hindered the company's growth in the 1960s with fast food becoming more prevalent and customers buying in stores. Revivals were introduced to revive the business, but in the early 1970s, the company was sold. With part of the legacy such as Klondike bars, the Isaly's empire disappeared. The brand was recently sold to Conroy Foods in O'Hara Township.

Cruising through many states of America, remnants of eateries of the past can still be found. Travel back to a stage in time with me to rekindle the memories of food franchises and the lost cuisine of bygone days. We can remember the presence of these dining experiences in their heyday long ago, but still etched in moments and recollections.
