The peak number of operating Dairy Barn stores was approximately 70.[2][3] Some original Dairy Barn locations remain open as retail establishments retaining the red barn theme.[4]

History
In 1939 Edgar Cosman, a Swiss textile manufacturer with business interests in the United States, purchased the Oak Tree Dairy Farm on Long Island. In 1961 Cosman's son, Dieter Cosman, expanded the dairy's wholesale milk business into a chain of retail, drive-through convenience stores named "Dairy Barn."[5][3]
