Date EstablishedLocation1961Springfield, Ohio
Description
The Red Barn restaurant was a fast-food restaurant chain founded in 1961 in Springfield, Ohio, by Don Six, Martin Levine, and Jim Kirst. In the late 1960s United Servomation bought the Red Barn chain. Red Barn had restaurants in 19 states, Ontario, other locations in Canada, and Australia. Following the shutdown of operations, most of the Red Barn buildings were converted for other uses with some renamed "The Farm". The Bradford location closed in 2014 from a fire and permanently closed in December 2015. The Racine, Wisconsin store closed on February 2, 2020, and the Australian Red Barn stores were sold and converted into McDonald's locations.

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.
