History
The business was established in 1959 by Cloverland Farms Dairy under the name White Jug in Baltimore—where its main office is still located. In 1968, following a merger with Royal Dunloggin Dairy, the brand was renamed Royal Farms.
In September 2014, Royal Farms secured the naming rights for the Baltimore Arena. The company revealed plans on November 22, 2022, to enter the North Carolina market, with its inaugural store scheduled to open in early 2023, accompanied by further expansions.

As of now, Royal Farms runs 263 locations throughout the Mid-Atlantic area and North Carolina, with a majority positioned within Maryland.
