A total of 9 Rush's restaurants are in the Columbia, SC region.
the history from their website:
In 1940 the Rush family operated a little drive-in at the edge of their dairy farm in the St. Andrews area. After fire destroyed the small Carolina Dairies building, the Rush family reopened as a drive-up Dairy Queen on the same site.
During those years, Broad River Road was a two-laned thoroughfare to Lake Murray and the upstate. Rush's successful dairy products and sandwich shop remained a Dairy Queen until the early 1960's.
Young entrepreneur George Rush expanded the restaurant's food and service capabilities and changed the name to Rush's. The blue and orange landmark became known as a popular meeting place that served delicious burgers and shakes.
With the success of Rush's in the 1960's, it was obvious that Columbia was ready for a fast food restaurant that could serve good, fresh, custom made food orders with service that was fast and courteous.
Beginning in 1980, Rush's began an expansion program with the opening of a restaurant on Decker Boulevard, followed by six more locations over the next fifteen years.
Rush's service is fast and efficient but not at the expense of quality in our food preparation, therefore our motto: Fabulous Food…Fast! This means we wait on our customers rather than our customers waiting on us.
For over 60 years, Rush's commitment to quality and fast service has become an institution in Columbia. This vintage poster is a nostalgic compilation of images that captures the Rush's tradition.
