Good to hear about Orange Julius..that is another company that I miss (thought they didn't exist at all any more).

Isn't there one in Quail Springs?

I was in Tulsa the other day and noticed they are about finished with a new DQ in Broken Arrow. Anyone know if they planning to try the OKC market again?

I grew up in the Dunns DQ family here in Oklahoma. My dad was in charge of all of the equipment in the 30+ stores that CH Dunn owned. CH's motherinlaw Mrs McClain purchased the franchise rights to then entrie state of Oklahoma accept the Tulsa area. CH had a daughter and a son. His son unfortunately died and I don't really know what happened to his daughter. He sold the stores to two guys from Texas and they took over and drained all of the cash out as quickly as they could forcing CH to take them back and close everything down. I suspect someone will bring the franchise back to OK when the time is right. In the meantime it's either Chickasha or Okmulgee to cure your DQ cravings.

A new DQ is going up in Mustang!!!!

I was just in Blackwell this past week and they have one that reminds me of that Tim's drive in on MacArthur. Pretty neat.... I know of one in Alva and Durant as well.

Maybe they could build a DQ at the Westgate Marketplace shopping center, or maybe put in a DQ/Julius hybrid in PS where Sara Saras is rn

I work in north Okc. You know how some people call in sick when they want to take off to go do something else?. Well, I worked with a guy who craved a Brazier Burger so bad that he went to our supervisor at the time and told him, " Boss, I'm not going to lie to you, I want to take off and take my family to Chickasha to eat at the Dairy Queen.

The supervisor just shook his head and let him go.

To the store or permanently?

At least he was honest

[MonkeesFan]

To the store or permanently?

I was going to ask that too

[SoonerDave]

Wish I knew the specific address, but I don't. If I find it, I'll edit the post and be glad to share

I'm hoping the Mustang location is a "toes in the water" location. If it works, bet its a "first domino" in a few other locations here in the metro.

I can practically taste that Oreo Blizzard.

Ha.. hahaha! ... I should have caught that. No, the supervisor let him take off to do his thing and he was back the next day.

Hahaha ... Good call Snowman and MonkeesFan.

Any update on the new DQ in Mustang?

Not yet. Need to talk to my Incredibly Secret Information Source out that way to get an update. (Translated: Need to talk to my sister-in-law. She was the one who lives in the area, had the info, knew specifically where it was going, etc.)

I sure hope she's correct.... Chickasha is a pretty good drive just to get a Peanut Buster Parfait.

I like Tim's.

Why can't we have Dairy Queen back in OKC?

I miss that place, and I don't feel like driving to Chickasha for a Blizzard. McDonald's have bootleg Blizzards.

Dairy Queens used to be everywhere, like McDonalds and Starbucks. Today they are rather few and far between. Most of the ones that are still around are together with Orange Julius. Personally I think OKC has enough greasy fast food but I can definitely understand the nostalgia of a Dairy Queen blizzard.

Dairy Queens are much more pervasive outside Oklahoma. They're relatively easy to find as you go farther east and south.

The last DQ I visited in the broader metro area was in Norman, but it went kerflooey long ago.

Blizzards, just for the record, rock.

[Charlie40]

Closest thing I have come close to a DQ Blizzard is a mix at Freddies frozen custard.

[windowphobe]

Last DQ I went to, a couple weeks ago, was in Independence, Missouri. And it was dualed with an Orange Julius, something I hadn't actually seen before. Apparently that is now a Thing, as the young folks say.

Is that like a glass jaw, only more so?

They are in more small towns in Texas than Sonic, they are literally all over Texas but they also have a different menu than the rest of the country and have their own marketing division. They sell more food than ice cream there which is not the case in most of the country. Here in Colorado we have Dairy Queen stores and Dairy Queen Grill & Chill locations, the regular DQ locations don't have burgers, mainly ice cream and some sandwiches and hot dogs. The Grill & Chill locations are the ones with burgers and such. I still prefer the food at the Texas DQ's. Most of the Colorado locations have been paired up with Orange Julius already, the one in my wife's West Texas small town hasn't yet.
