My 16 year old son worked for the Dairy Queen in Coppell for about 6 months (put in his two weeks in April of this year since he was tired of being called in to cover for people). There were three management turnovers during that six month span. He did mention that some corporate folks had visited from California at one point, so it did most likely change hands. It was frustrating to see as they could never keep staff and the community supports that restaurant and they make money in spite of themselves. Just think what they could do if they ran a half decent operation and also put some money into upgrades?

My phone rang about 10 minutes after I published this, and my 12-year-old excitedly asked, "Is it Tito?" (It was not.)

I couldn’t agree more, Dan (Mark Cuban!) & Gretchen (daily operations, upgrades, restore in-door service!). I remember DQ being full of little leaguers after Saturday/Sunday games every weekend, and some teams held their banquets there too. Teens used to hang out there on weekends with friends after football, basketball games. I hope our little DQ gets turned around. It’s been here since the 1950s (I believe), so it would be a real shame if that “LA based” group continued to ignore or run it into the ground. Our poor little Dairy Queen needs some help!!🤞
