Like many chains, Dutch Pantry leapfrogged from its home base in order to enter Florida's lucrative and ever-expanding market. The Sunshine State lured tourists from far and wide allowing chains not just the opportunity to provide familiar offerings to their regular but traveling patrons, but also created new customers and fostered expansion into new territory.

In addition to Dutch Pantry, Frisch's, Hot Shoppes, Howard Johnson's, Friendly's, and others tested the waters in Florida before expanding. And some chains had outlets in the sunny state simply because their owners wintered there!

Dutch Pantry entered Florida during the 1950s with its first locations operating in Clearwater, Daytona Beach, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota.
