In Kettering, Dairy Queen has moved from 2056 E. Dorothy Lane to 3301 Woodman Drive, where it has expanded its seating and its menu and is in the process of hiring more employees, franchise owner Jacquie Nelson said. The owners added the Orange Julius franchise to the Dairy Queen shop, which seats 30 inside and another 30 on a patio. The store’s owners have added three employees, bringing employment to 10, and expects to add three to five more in the coming weeks, Nelson said.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Jan. 25. The Dairy Queen Orange Julius is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday.
And a new barbecue festival called “Yuengling Brews, Bands & BBQ” will make its debut June 2 in Carillon Park, according to Amy Zahora, executive director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association.
