In 1959, Cloverland Farms Dairy opened its first store in Baltimore, under the name White Jug,[3] which remains where the company's headquarters are based.[3] In 1968, Cloverland Farms Dairy merged with Royal Dunloggin Dairy and the name was changed to Royal Farms.
In September 2014, Royal Farms purchased naming rights to the Baltimore Arena.[4] On November 22, 2022, Royal Farms announced that it would open up its first North Carolina location in early 2023, with more locations coming soon to that state.
