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.

    Wow, I remember in 1968 when working at the Nickerson Farms located in Joplin on I-44, I drove to Eldon to apply for a
    management position. I was hired as a manager trainee, working 50 hours per week. This was the start of a long relationship. I soon was transferred to the Nickerson
    Farms store in Scott's City (I-44) then transferred to the NF at Emma, MO (I-44) then on to NF in Fargo, OH (I-71). I then was promoted to the new home office in Omaha, Nebraska as Director of Operations. I absolutly loved working for Nickersons Farms for 13 years.

Death of a NIckersons

Image
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.
