  • Kewpee Hamburgers is the second known chain of hamburger fast-food restaurants, and was founded in 1923 in Flint, Michigan under the name "Kewpee Hotel Hamburgs". Kewpee's current headquarters is located in Lima, Ohio. The chain is named after the Kewpie doll. Kewpee was one of the first to institute curbside service, which morphed into drive-in service, and then finally was transformed into drive-thru service. Its founder, Samuel V. Blair, also claims to be the first to use the flat bun and developed the "deluxe" hamburger. The Lima Kewpee locations have locally raised, boneless beef delivered daily to each Kewpee restaurant. Then employees grind and patty that day’s burgers. Their advertising slogan is: Hamburg pickle on top, makes your heart go flippity-flop! While an earlier slogan was: "Mity Nice Hamburger".
