The relationships that were made then created a bond that has lasted over three generations. The stores grand opening was on August 24, 1965. The McCaslins later went to court and was able to break the contract with Dari-Delite and changed their name to Dudes Drive Inn. Why Dudes? Lewis McCaslin was a cool dude that everybody liked so his family and friends nick named him Dude. Dude and Vi sold their store to their son, Ronald (age 43) McCaslin in 1976. When Ron passed away on Feb. 25, 2015, his daughter Roxanne McCaslin (age 43) assumed ownership roles. As a third generation family business, Roxanne is in the process of displaying photos of long time employees and customers on the dining room wall of Dudes.
