New York’s Roy Rogers Fast Food Chain Closes After 30 Years

The New York State Thruway has lost its iconic Roy Rogers fast food outlets, which had been a staple since the 1990s, signaling a nostalgic end to a beloved dining experience for many travelers. With no Roy Rogers locations remaining in New York, only a few remain in Maryland, leaving fans reminiscing about the unique Fixins Bar and the joy of assembling their own burgers. Meanwhile, Di Rienzo Bakery in Binghamton, a historic business founded in 1904, continues to thrive under the ownership of Stacey Root and her father, now supplying local grocery stores while still adhering to traditional recipes. In Chadbourn, Nell's Chophouse and Catering has opened, offering a variety of dishes and a family-friendly atmosphere, reflecting the legacy of its founder's sister. These local dining establishments continue to shape the food landscape, evoking memories and community ties through their offerings.
