Dairy Queen has been expanding its concept and showcasing a new restaurant design in the process. The updated décor focuses on the brand's "grill and chill" model, showcasing a broad menu of GrillBurgers, Iron Grilled Sandwiches, grilled or crispy chicken sandwiches, shrimp baskets and more, alongside DQ's iconic soft-serve lineup, including Blizzards.

Additionally, Orange Julius products are now available, including smoothies and fruit-blended beverages.
