Two new DQ Grill and Chill restaurants have opened in service plazas on the eastern end of the Ohio Turnpike. The westbound location is located in the Mahoning Valley Service Plaza at mile marker 223. It is the first travel plaza inside Ohio as travelers proceed westward from the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The eastbound location is located in the Glacier Hills Service Plaza at mile marker 223. This eastbound location is the last Ohio Turnpike service center prior to reaching the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Each restaurant is 625 square-feet, with 40 employees, contributing to 80 new jobs in New Springfield, Ohio.
