One of my favorite things about Dick’s Drive-In is how often we collaborate and work with other local artists and businesses. So when our Marketing team got the idea to do retro, Sailor Jerry-inspired tattoo merchandise, the best place to look was Sacred Soul Tattoo. Michelle Haley, owner and head artist at Sacred Soul Tattoo and Seattle area native has been tattooing for almost 20 years, so she knows a thing or two about the PNW and tattoos.Â
It's time for part five of getting to know our amazing Dick's Drive-In team and this time we are headed to a truly behind-the-scenes department, Construction and Real Estate! When you think of Dick’s Drive-In employees you probably jump straight to the crew behind the windows flipping burgers, frying fries and hand-whipping milkshakes. You might also think of our Operations or Online Store/Marketing team. But I can almost bet the last thing you would have come up with was the person making sure all the construction happens for our new and current restaurants. It’s time to change that, so this month we meet the Director of Construction and Real Estate, Martti Travis!
On January 28th, we celebrated the 70th Anniversary of Dick's Drive-In! Back in 1954, our first location in Wallingford opened and we have been serving up delicious memories ever since. To help us celebrate we asked some of our most tenured employees to share a few of their favorite Drive-In memories and we are back with part two of their stories.
It's time for part four of getting to know our amazing Dick's Drive-In team and this time we are headed back to the online store. If you have ordered anything from the Online Store since July of 2023 there is a pretty good chance that this person got your order ready for you. This month we meet Lissy's amazing online store assistant, Tiffani Rice!
It may be a tiny bit late but HAPPY NEW YEAR! Last year flew by and was full of so many amazing things, it's hard to believe it's over! Let's take ...
This week we take a quick break from all of the holiday goodies to take a look back at one of the biggest moments in recent Dick's Drive-In History. After 37 years of waiting for a new restaurant, Edmonds opened in 2011. Seven years later the Drive-In finally headed south of Seattle and opened in Kent on December 12, 2018. Today is Kent's 5th birthday and we are sharing memories from that day from some people very close to the Drive-In, Dick's son Jim, and his wife Fawn.Â
This week the DDIR elves are hard at work fulfilling the hundreds of orders we got during our Orange Weekend Sale. We will be back with more holiday fun and blogs next week!Â
It’s officially time to kick off the holidays and DDIR has you covered with a gift guide for everyone on your list and our annual Orange Weekend Sale!
We know spooky season is officially over but we have to have one last blog post to show off some of the great costumes from this year and our Pumpkin Carving Contest Winners!
It's time for part three of getting to know our amazing Dick's Drive-In team and this time we are headed over to our OPS department. The Operations team are the behind-the-scenes heroes that keep the restaurants running. From cutting paychecks and ordering supplies to making sure all of the tech works and so much more, they make it happen. This month we meet our tech guru extraordinaire, Stefan Bennett.Â
