Dee Frederick Anderson was inspired to create Dee's Drive-Ins after seeing drive-in restaurants during a 1953 visit to Long Beach, California.[1]
Established a year later,[1] his first Dee's Drive-In was a $125,000 building at 753 E. 2100 South Street in Salt Lake City.
On average, the shop served 2,500 customers daily, selling burgers, hot dogs and apple turnovers for 19 cents and French fries and soft drinks for ten cents.
Within two years, Anderson had opened his two more drive-ins and Dee's Drive-In had 100 employees.

My parents took the family to Dee's once or twice a year when I was a kid, that was a really big deal because we didn't have that kind of money to waste on restaurant food.
