Rupe's Burgers has customers flocking to its drive in, or dine in at any time of the day. The burger spot will celebrate it's 30th anniversary June 5. Owner Kevin Rupes father, Vaughn Rupe started the restaurant business as an A&W All American Food in 1962. He ran that until 1978 before he decided to sell it. It wasn't long until the restaurant was back into the Rupe's possession. "They couldn't make a go (at) it. My dad carried the contract an he got it back.
