Fort Collins’ Midtown Dairy Queen plans to add a drive-thru, facing city code changes and potential parking loss.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Fort Collins’ Midtown Dairy Queen is hoping to add a drive-thru, according to a conceptual review application filed with the city of Fort Collins in December.
The application, 1805 S. College Ave., proposes the addition of a drive-thru lane, a reader board sign and drive-up window. The drive-thru would be accessible from South College Avenue and two to four parking spots would be lost, according to a description of the proposal and an aerial rendering.
The project would be subject to a minor amendment and some changes would need to be made to the property, including alterations to, or replacement of, its existing pole-style sign to meet the city’s sign code. A bike rack and new trash enclosure would also need to be installed.
The eastern side of Dairy Queen’s South College Avenue stretch is already home to two popular drive-thrus — one at the nearby Starbucks, 1708 S. College Ave., and another at Raising Cane’s, 2108 S. College Ave. Dairy Queen is on the western side.
