| Dairy Queen Carbondale, IL |
Dairy Queen New Albany, IN |

The Carbondale Dairy Queen opened in 1952. The sign is lit at night. For more, see this website.

| Dairy Queen Buckhannon, WV |
Dairy Queen Lombard, IL |
Dairy Queen Janesville, MN |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Buckhannon and Lombard Dairy Queens look to be from the late 1950s or early 1960s. For more, see this website.
This Janesville Dairy Queen features an intact rooftop sign while the stand has been updated. |
| Dairy Queen New Smyrna Beach, FL |
Dairy Queen Minneapolis, MN |
 |
 |
|
The New Smyrna Beach Dairy Queen features an old rooftop sign as well as a later freestanding pole sign. The rooftop sign was refurbished sometime after 2007. There is now only a singular "DQ" on the cone. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.
This Minneapolis Dairy Queen has been here since 1957 or 1960 (conflicting sources). The signage has been updated to reflect its partnership with Orange Julius. The vintage rooftop sign remains. |
| Dairy Queen Worthington, OH |
Dairy Queen Paxton, IL |
Dairy Queen Saskatoon, SK |
 |
 |
 |
|
This Worthington Dairy Queen sign was most likely installed on the roof originally before being moved to poles in front of the building. This sign is lit at night. For more, see this website.
This Paxton Dairy Queen sign is now missing its neon and is painted a lighter shade of blue. This sign and the ones in Worthington and Minneapolis above do not have the curved piece at the back. All three of the cones are larger and do not have the circles behind them. There is also no horizontal line. I assume that these signs were a later design. The Saskatoon Dairy Queen appears to be from the 1950s. There was probably a rooftop sign originally. This sign appears to be from the 1960s. [photo thanks Elissa H.] |
| Dairy Queen St. Joseph, MO |
|
 |
 |
| This Dairy Queen, while now sided over and wearing a new roof, still has the original neon sign. |
| Dairy Queen Huntington, IN |
 |
 |
 |
| This Huntington Dairy Queen sign features a sundae instead of a cone. I don't know if this was an option or a later change. I have never seen another sign like this one. It does appear to be original and untampered with. The sign is lit at night. For more, see this website. |
| Dairy Queen Iowa City, IA |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
| The Iowa City Dairy Queen opened around 1952. It was hit by a tornado in 2006. The original sign on the building was destroyed. Later that year, the stand was rebuilt and reopened with this replica sign. The two ice cream cone pole signs by the road survived the tornado. In 2008, the stand was then hit by flooding but the damage was less extensive. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |
| Dairy Queen Anadarko, OH |
Dairy Crest Springfield, OH |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
This Dairy Queen cone sign must have had neon originally and a paint job like the ones in Iowa City above. I believe this location opened in 1949.
This Dairy Crest was originally a Dairy Queen. Around 1952, it broke away from the chain and changed its name and sign. The first photo was taken 2003; the second in 2009. |
