I think the previous poster was referring to the DQ that was at Southern Trace, it's in the exact same building now occupied by Culverts that went out of Business about 2010. It was the one that went out of business due to poor management. I spoke to a waitress at Chilis and she use to work there. Apparently an absentee owner, who had too many young kids working and no one in charge. Same problem with the Krystal Hamburger that went out of business in Leesburg last year. When you ordered, it was like an inconvenience to them to fill your order. BTW, I got a sundae at Ollie's at SS about year ago, and I thought it was terrible.
