Oldest Dairy Queen - Closed

I regret to have to inform you that the oldest operating DQ in Council Bluffs, IA, is no longer operating. It never opened in the spring or summer of this year. There was a "For Sale" sign on it several weeks ago, and now the old neon sign has been dismantled. The building itself is still standing for now, but I have no idea what will become of it. Summer 2005 was evidently its last stand.

Nov 2006 - John Amdor III sez: "The building has been demolished. Currently the site is an empty lot." Sept 2006 - According to news accounts, the property has been sold and will be converted into a Jimmy John's.
