It’s a special day for Dairy Queen. Joe Rintleman is Vice President for the local Noble Store Dairy Queens and he says that while the first official DQ was in Joliet, Kankakee is the official home of soft serve ice cream
Rintleman says the first official Dairy Queen store was opened in 1940 in Joliet, but Kankakee is the birthplace of soft serve. To celebrate the anniversary, between eight and 9:30 tonight, the local Dairy Queens will offer the same deal Sherb Noble offered to customers back in 1938
In anticipation of large crowds, the drive-up windows will be closed during the 8 to 9:30 timeframe so walk-up customers can be served from those windows as well.
