Why no Dairy Queen in or around TV????
Back in 2004-ish there used to be two DQ...one on 441 and one on 466 (I think). Then for some reason both closed down.
The closest one now is at The Pilot gas station on SR 484 at the entrance/exit to I-75. When we have the hankering for one we go on a short road trip and get our DQ fix. One would think a DQ would do well in TV!!! Other opinions? |

I contacted Dairy Queen and asked the same question. They told me that all Dairy Queen restaurants are franchises. They asked me if I wanted to open one.

I agree. A Dairy Queen would be a big hit here. Right along 466a at Trailwinds. In between Burger King & Wendy's.

The trick would be to find a good team for your employees.

Note: I did my part trying to keep them both open! Also when WAWA opens across the street from Dunkin Donuts..... you may be able to pickup DD real cheap and open a DQ. |

I am a big Culvers Fan (Have I mentioned that before?) but wouldn't mind staying local for Great Ice Cream. I also like that place Kilwins on Main St in Spanish Springs. I hereby swear I'll help keep DQ open. I'm a Team Player! |

THIS subject has come up various time in our 10 yrs here. IF someone wanted to buy the franchise, I'd guess one would come in. As others said...many have gone out of business elsewhere.

I love DQ but I would also love it if a Rita's opened in this area.

The last time I went to a DQ was almost 60 years ago. Today I go to a Golden Spoon near me for yogurt. DQ is like Kraft brands, Jello and Velveeta (yuk!) dying out as tastes change.
