Date EstablishedLocation1913New York City
Description
Nedick's was an American chain of fast-food restaurants that originated in New York City in 1913. The name of the chain was formed from the last names of Robert T. Neely and Orville A. Dickinson. During the 1950s the chain expanded to Newark, New Jersey, Albany, New York, Boston, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. areas. Known for making and selling a signature orange drink. Nedick's expanded its menu through the years. Coffee, donuts, and hot dogs, with a unique mustard relish in a toasted bun, were added to Nedick's menu. Following increased competition from national chains including McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts, Nedick's ceased operations during the 1980s.

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.
