 Fusion Panda - A tale about a convenience store, and chip dip
I have a pretty good memory of Lawson's, which means it was probably around most of the 1980s, but I know Dairy Mart was the owner when I was in high school.
Dairy Mart had a lot of stores, and the name shows up in strange places, including this exit on Interstate 5 south of San Diego, one of the last exits before Mexico, which I used to get to Borderfields State Park last fall.
But Dairy Mart was smart enough to realize the value of the Lawson's name (I kid you not, there is now a road just down the street from Stow/Fishcreek that is named in honor of that Lawson's store), and they continued to sell Lawson's Chip Dip, with the exact same packaging and the same name.
