JONESBORO, Ark. - The Dairy
Queen® system's newest, most exciting restaurant
concept, a DQ Grill & Chill® location has opened at 4100 E. Johnson
Street near the new NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital. This is the
first DQ Grill & Chill restaurant
to open in Jonesboro and Craighead County. The 2,000 square-foot
facility, which will also serve Orange Julius® products, has added
40-45 new jobs in the area, contributing to the state's employment
growth. The new restaurant
also will contribute to restaurant
sales in Arkansas, which according to the National Restaurant
Association are projected to increase by almost 4 percent this
year.
"We are excited to open Jonesboro's first DQ Grill & Chill restaurant to serve Orange Julius specialty fruit smoothies and beverages, as well as our full menu of cravable DQ food and treat items," said restaurant operator Andy Patel. "This new restaurant is sure to become a location where families and friends can gather to share smiles and stories over a great meal and treats."
An Array of Menu Options
The DQ Grill & Chill concept blends the best of DQ iconic history with the most modern innovations in the quick-service restaurant industry. The food menu features the quarter- and half-pound GrillBurgers™ made to order, as well as other delicious and unique food items, including deli-style Iron Grilled Sandwiches. A Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Chicken or Crispy Shrimp Baskets also are available for either lunch or dinner.
Complementing the "Grill" is the "Chill," with the traditional and indulgent Dairy Queen soft-serve treats everybody knows and loves. Along with all of the DQ favorites, such as the signature Blizzard® Flavor Treats, MooLatté® frozen blended coffee beverages, DQ Cakes and waffle bowl sundaes and cones, guests will enjoy the delicious Orange Julius premium fruit smoothies and fruit-blended beverages on the menu. The classic original Orange and Strawberry Orange Julius drinks are available, as well as premium fruit smoothies in flavors such as Tropical Tango, Mango Passion, Strawberry Sensation, Strawberry Xtreme and 3-Berry Blast.
