Skinners Dairy built about 25 stores in Jacksonville and St. Augustine from 1958-1985. They were designed by Taylor Hardwick. Most of these were located in Jacksonville. None of them are still operating. The early buildings were painted orange and white and featured butterfly roofs and drive-thru windows on each side. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
