A Kansas City area Dairy Queen location of over 30 years has closed
A North Kansas City Dairy Queen Grill & Chill has closed.
The spot at 615 Armour Road appears to have been shut down for a few days. The location is no longer listed on Dairy Queen’s website and is marked as “permanently closed” on Google.
The location has been open since at least 1994, according to a job advertisement run in The Star that year.
Dairy Queen, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, did not immediately respond to The Star’s list of questions Monday regarding the circumstances leading up to its closure.
The chain has more than a dozen locations in the area, including ones nearby at 5381 NE Antioch Road and 8530 N. Oak Trafficway.
The very first Dairy Queen opened in Joliet, Illinois, in 1940. Today, it has thousands of locations across the world.
Its most famous treat, the Blizzard, is blended soft-serve ice cream with a combination of candy and other mix-ins.
