Athens is the new home of yet another Dairy Queen branch, as Daiy Queen opened its DQ Grill and Chill® restaurant in 3465 Jefferson at Jones Petroleum gas station.
The 2,571 square-foot branch can seat 47 guests inside and can service drive-thru customers as well.
The store boosted Athens' employment by putting up 50 new jobs.
"We are excited to open our second DQ Grill and Chill restaurant in Athens and welcome the community in to enjoy our full menu of cravable food items, signature and innovative treats and Orange Julius® Premium Fruit Smoothies, Light Smoothies and Julius® Original drinks," stated restaurant operator Natalie Jones in Franchising.com.
