History
Since 1953
Hudson “Hut” Avant opened The Dairylane as a summer-only business in 1953, after twice being turned down for a Dairy Queen franchise in Sandersville. It became a year-round business in 1957 and hasn’t slowed down a bit ever since. In 1995, The Dairylane was purchased by Ben Walters, and it has been in the Walters family ever since. Today it is co-owned by B.T. Walters and Trey Britt. After 67 years The Dairylane opened our first drive-thru in Sandersville, Georgia. Though it has changed hands over the years, we have never lost site of our mission to be a gathering place for the community. We serve the regular favorites: hamburgers, hot dogs, shakes, barbeque and fountain drinks! After All, The Dairylane is “Just A Little Bit Better”.
