Kewpee Hamburgers is the second oldest chain of hamburger fast-food restaurants, founded in 1923 in Flint, Michigan under the name "Kewpee Hotel Hamburgs".[2][3] Kewpee's current headquarters is located in Lima, Ohio.[2] The chain is named after the Kewpie doll.[2][4] Kewpee was one of the first to institute curbside service, which later morphed into a drive-in service, and then finally was transformed into drive-thru service.[2][3] The Lima Kewpee locations have locally raised beef delivered daily to each Kewpee restaurant.[2] The Kewpee Restaurant in Lima, Ohio is considered a historic site.
