The Dairy Queen in Pawcatuck has been here since 1954. [map]

The Dairy Queen in Riverside was built in 1958. There was another location in town which was built the same year. That one was demolished in 2011. There must have been a rooftop neon sign at this building originally. The pole sign was a later addition. Dairy Queen's "lips" logo was developed in 1960. [map]

The former Dairy Queen in Carmichael has housed a Tugboat Fish & Chips since at least 2007. [map]

There were two Dairy Queens in Butler. They both appear to be from the 1950s. The New Castle location opened in 1954. In 2018, that location closed after a dispute with Dairy Queen corporate. It reopened a few months later as Edwards Ice Cream. [New Castle Rd. map]; [Pittsburgh Rd. map]

Albuquerque, NM
This Dairy Queen location in Starbuck opened in 1956. However, this sign was not there in recent years. It was installed around 2008, however, it appears to be a vintage sign not a reproduction. It may have come from another location or the original sign may have been in storage. [map]

Dairy Queen [gone]
Willmar, MN
This Dairy Queen appears to be from the 1950s. This photo is from 2011. In 2015, this location closed and the rooftop sign was gone. By 2018, a gable roof had been added and the building was housing a used car lot office.

Dairy Queen
Roseville, MN
This Dairy Queen was built in 1947. It was the first location built in Minnesota. I believe this "control tower" design may have been unique. Or, if not, there don't seem to be any other buildings left like this. In 2010, the building was listed on Minnesota's 10 Most Endangered Historic Places by the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota. These photos are from 2011 and the building was still there as of 2016. For more, see this website. [map]

This Dairy Queen opened around 1951. There is a neon cone inside the store but I don't know if it's the one from this sign. For more, see this website. [map]

Dairy Queen
Bedford, VA
This Dairy Queen is probably from the 1950s. The sign is either a replacement or it has been repainted. The red paint and lower case letters are unique. [map]
