Dairy Queen In Sauk Rapids Announces Its Opening Date

With warmer weather in Central Minnesota this week it looks like winter is (slowly) transitioning into spring, which means Sauk Rapids' Dairy Queen location is nearly ready to open!

There had been a lot of activity in the building the last few days (I drive by this location every day on my work commute... I'm not some kind of crazed DQ stalker... I swear) but staff had posted multiple "CLOSED" signs on the windows. So, I waited.

On Friday the "CLOSED" signs were gone and replaced with signs declaring "OPENING FEBRUARY 27th!"

The Sauk Rapids location is my favorite in the area... but you can't go wrong with Red Barn or Cold Spring either. How can you go wrong with a DQ?

The Sauk Rapids location is the closest to my house and love the walk-up style DQ's where you stand in line outdoors with your peers, trying to get a glimpse of the menu before it is your turn.

So, while it may not quite be time to put the snowblower in the shed and put the winter coats into the crawlspace, it may indeed be time to realistically think about slamming some Blizzards.
