 Stopped in Eldon today to take a look at the original home office of Nickerson Farms.  Here it is as of today, notice the red roof and design.  After all these years, still standing and still speaking to the history of Nickersons.

 I am always traveling and keeping my eyes open for old Nickerson buildings.  I see them everywhere, some in use and some totally removed.  If you drive by one in your travels please drop me a line, I would love to keep my records updated or to visit the site. Thanks

Arizona Nickersons

 I went looking for the three stores in Arizona, not sure why they were there to start with, but I could only find Picacho and Dateland.  We have a pretty long history of Picacho, but nothing at all on Dateland.  It did exist and was removed either through fire or destruction.  Here are a couple pictures:

I recently saw a Facebook post indicating the Nickerson Farms home office may still be standing in Eldon Missouri. Sure enough, there it is at 146 S. Oak St, the building is still there and still in the NF décor or at least it was ten years ago.  I am going to head up there and find it.

Nickerson Farms of New Braunfels Texas.  Building is still standing, but the antique business is closed so I did not get to look around.

Death of a NIckersons

I am saddened to report, the Nickerson Farms building at Picacho Peak Arizona has collapsed.  Thanks to Dr. FD for the update and great pictures.  While not the last standing it was one of the few which was totally abandoned, nearly from the beginning.  Many of these restaurants were built miles from any population, depending on the highway traffic to survive, which they did not.
