History
Kirby’s Pig Stand opened in September 1921 in Dallas, Texas. It was America’s first drive-in restaurant. The Restaurant expanded into chains all around the United States in states such as: Texas, New York, Florida, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Southern California and Alabama. Jessie Kirby passed a few years after opening the first drive in Pig Stand but Kirby’s family and the Jackson family kept the company up and running. The scheme of the restaurant “consisted of a red- tiled pagoda-like roof set on a rectangular building framed of wood and covered in stucco (a fine plaster used for coating wall surfaces or molding into architectural decorations .” “A 1927 newspaper advertisement claimed over 5,000 people in Dallas alone had their evening meal at the Pig Stands .” Popular for the restaurant’s “chicken-fried steak sandwich, fried onion rings, milkshake, pig sandwich and their Texas toast .” Kirby’s Pig Stands revolutionized the way Americans eat everyday meals, now 91 years later, there are thousands of fast food restaurants across America such as McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendys and Sonic. By 1959 most of the Pigs Stands out of Texas were eventually sold but the stands in Texas were ran by the president Royce Hailey. Hailey became the owner in 1975 then sold the business to his son Richard Hailey changing the restaurant’s name Woodfire Kirby’s which resides in Dallas, Texas as a 3 Star restaurant. Hailey also keeps a Pig Stand up and running today.
