Fred Liston built the original Liston’s and opened a small gas station, using Esso gas. Once prohibition ended, he opened his bar which had 4 stools and a candy counter. Gasoline was available outside while loyal customers fueled up inside. Liston’s has gone through many improvements, additions and a few different owners over the years. In 2021, the Worthington Restaurant Group purchased Liston’s and re-built the entire building to ensure that Liston’s would be a part of Worthington for many years to come.
