The Iconic Plaza Midwood Dairy Queen Finally Found a New Home
Just in time for some sweet summer treats!
The well-known Dairy Queen that closed last year in Plaza Midwood has found a new home and will re-open in Eastway Crossing. According to Charlotte Agenda, Sherman Walters, the local operator, signed a lease last week for a 1,000-square-foot space at 3054 Eastway Drive, in the strip mall located at Commonwealth Park.
For those who may not know which Dairy Queen we’re talking about, it was located in Plaza Midwood for about four decades before a developer bought the property back in 2018. The little drive-in restaurant opened in 1950 and the Walters family bought it in 1970. So it definitely became a staple spot in the Queen City.
Walters says their goal is to open May 1, 2020, right in time for the warm weather! I know the people who live in Plaza sure are happy to have their ice cream back, especially with the new location being about 5 minutes away from the old location:
