Sponsor Our ArticlesMore than two dozen Dairy Queen locations across Texas are slated to close, with a total of 25 affected under the same franchise owner. Four of these locations are in the Houston area. An auction is set to occur for restaurant contents from 24 of the closed sites, where items like Blizzard ice cream machines and grills will be up for bid. Despite these closures, Dairy Queen continues to thrive, with around 560 locations remaining in Texas.
Hey there, Texas! We have some big news coming from the world of fast food. It looks like more than two dozen Dairy Queen locations across our great state will soon be shutting their doors. That’s right – a total of 25 locations are affected, all under the same franchise owner. Feel that chill? It’s not just the ice cream!
Four of these locations are nestled in the bustling Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands area, where DQ lovers have been enjoying their Blizzards and fries. If you’re a fan of Dairy Queen, you may want to make a visit before these beloved spots serve their last cones.
What’s even more interesting is that 24 of the closed restaurants are hosting an auction for their contents on LocalAuctions.com. Yes, you heard that right! This is a golden opportunity for those who might be looking to snag some restaurant-grade equipment. Bidding is set to *end at noon on February 20*, so time is ticking!
Participants in this auction will need to bring their muscles and their tools, as they’ll be responsible for disassembling and transporting anything they buy. Items up for grabs include Blizzard ice cream machines, grills, seating, and even walk-in freezers. Who knows? You might just end up with a top-notch DQ grill for your backyard!
As for the price, bidding has ranged from $500 to an impressive over $6,000 depending on the size and contents of the restaurant. It’s definitely a wild ride if you’re looking to own a piece of Dairy Queen history!
Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. There’s one additional Dairy Queen location in Farmers Branch that has closed, but it won’t be part of this auction. While details about the closures remain somewhat hazy, it’s worth noting that Texas will still host approximately 560 Dairy Queen restaurants, making it the state with the most DQ locations in the US.
The franchise owner will continue operating other Dairy Queen locations in the state, so it’s not the end of the world for ice cream enthusiasts. However, it looks like this trend is affecting not just our beloved DQ. Other national chains like TGI Fridays and Red Lobster have also struggled recently, closing multiple locations due to changing consumer habits and financial pressures.
Despite these closures, Dairy Queen remains a titan in the fast-food game, boasting over 7,700 locations globally, the majority of which are franchised. Fun fact: the first Dairy Queen opened its doors back in 1940 in Joliet, Illinois, but many would argue that the brand is deeply rooted in the Texas culture.
As we navigate through these changes, let’s raise a cone to the memories created at these Dairy Queen locations. Whether it’s a hot Texas day or a chilly night wrapped up in a Blizzard, those moments can’t be taken away. Make sure to check out the auction if you’re up for it, and keep enjoying your favorite treats at the remaining DQ restaurants around Texas. Happy bidding, folks!
