Joliet History - Dairy Queen
The world's very first Dairy Queen opened in my adopted hometown of Joliet, Illinois, on June 22, 1940. The newspaper ad above appeared in the Joliet Herald-News two weeks after the store first opened. The building at 501 N. Chicago St. still stands, though the DQ has long since departed from downtown.
Mmmmm...large cuplet...

My family has lived in Joliet since my Grandma moved here in the late 1930s. She always talks about how she loved to go to DQ as a kid.
