OKLAHOMA CITY - Dairy Queen is returning to the Oklahoma City metro after a decadelong absence, with the first store set to open in Moore by mid-2014.
The operator, David Jones, already owns Schlotzky's restaurants in Midwest City and Moore, and is in negotiations with Fritts Family Farms to build his first Dairy Queen at SW 19 and Telephone Road.
Jones said the $1.9 million restaurant will be a modern “Grill and Chill,” which features a full menu offering of burgers, chicken strips, salads and hot dogs, with Dairy Queen frozen desserts, and an Orange Julius.
“I grew up with Dairy Queen and Orange Julius,” Jones said. “I worked in an Orange Julius at Sooner Fashion Mall as a kid. We all went to the Dairy Queen in Moore. It was part of the fabric of our little society. When you said Dairy Queen, it was synonymous with apple pie, baseball and Americana.”
