WARREN COUNTY, OH —\u00a0DAIRY QUEEN has been a fixture in many communities since it\u2019s founding in Joliet, Illinois in 1940. The soft serve ice cream was created in 1939, and it didn\u2019t take long to spread across the United States and numerous foreign countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, there are OVER 7,800 Dairy Queens around the world in 27 countries. In the USA,\u00a0there are 4,455.\u00a0And, DQ is definitely a fixture here in Warren County. After all, you can\u2019t go wrong in summer with those soft serve Ice cream treats ! <\/p>\n

Best known for the ice cream cones, DAIRY QUEEN is also the home of the BLIZZARD@ which is a thick ice cream delight in a cup, which is known for being so frozen that when it is handed to you, it does not fall out of the cup when turned upside down. There are multiple delicious flavors for these. There is always sundaes, shakes, iced coffees and light foods like hotdogs.(And, at some Grill and Chill\u00a0DQ\u2019s, there are\u00a0meals.)<\/p>\n

There are several types of DQ’s:
\nWALK UP\/CLASSICS<\/p>\n

Known as a \u201cwalk up\u201d\/carryout or the Classic DQ, these DAIRY QUEENS\u00a0tend to be open with a limited season and do not have inside seating such as the one\u00a0LEBANON and Miamisburg (Montgomery County).<\/p>\n

Lebanon’s Walk Up Classic<\/p>\n

Twenty years ago, when I moved to Lebanon, the DQ closed every fall in November. I knew spring arrived when the DQ opened again in March. People here could tell the change of the seasons by whether DQ was open or not. This has shifted to more all year with new owners in Lebanon. Always a treat anytime every summer there is always a line of people and cars ready to \u201ccool off\u201d with a frozen treat !<\/p>\n

CLASSIC EAT-INS<\/p>\n

Then, there is the Classic DQ with inside seating and no walk up window. Instead, there is a drive thru, and they are opened all year long selling all the famous ice cream dishes along with the\u00a0limited menu of hotdogs,\u00a0such as the ones in SPRINGBORO and Centerville (Montgomery County).<\/p>\n

GRILL AND CHILL<\/p>\n

Besides all the ice cream treats,\u00a0the NEWER DQ\u2019s are open all year long and\u00a0have eat in areas, as well as\u00a0drive thrus.\u00a0\u00a0They offer a larger selection of meal type foods such as burger baskets, chicken finger baskets, fries and fried cheese curds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Grill and Chills have indoor seating as well as a larger menu<\/p>\n
