Dairy Queen Remodel 1998. The DQ as it looked right before we purchased it in 1999.
Dairy Queen Remodel 2000. Like the theatre, the DQ which was built in 1951, was pretty tired and run down. One of the great features of the remodel was being able to put up a replica of the classic DQ “Blade” sign!
Dairy Queen Remodel The front counter of the DQ in 1999. ALL of the equipment inside the store was very outdated as was the stores lay out and entrances. The inside of the store was completely “gutted” and re done in DQ’s Red, white and blue remodel for the millennium style.
Dairy Queen Remodel 2003. The new front counter and lay out of the remodeled DQ. Here we have Heights – DQ employees Dain, Lindsay, Chelsea and Jesse. We normally never allow people to sit on the front counter, but decided to make an exception for Lindsay since it was prom!
Dairy Queen Remodel 1999. The space between the theatre and the DQ was, well how can we put this, not very attractive and rather depressing.
Dairy Queen Remodel 2000. By adding this patio between the DQ and the Theatre, patrons from the DQ finally had a place to sit and enjoy their treats…and well, IT JUST LOOKED SO MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE!
