## Story

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Ice cream cravings and burger runs just got a new go-to spot. American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ), an iconic leader in treats and food, announced today a new DQ Restaurant with its grand opening on January 15. Conveniently located at 122 Walnut Bottom Road, Shippensburg, PA., and will be owned and operated by a local franchisee.

This location marks the brand’s latest Dairy Queen location in Pennsylvania and a meaningful milestone for its growing portfolio. With a strong presence already established in Pennsylvania, Dairy Queen saw Cumberland County as the perfect next step, drawn to its vibrant community, family-friendly atmosphere, and steady flow of visitors year-round.

“Dairy Queen has always stood out to me as a beloved brand with deep roots and a strong reputation,” said the local franchisee owner. “There’s something special about the way it brings people together; everyone has that nostalgic memory of enjoying a cone with family or friends. Our goal is to create that same sense of joy and connection here in Shippensburg. We see this restaurant as a welcoming spot for the community to gather, share good times, and make new memories.”

Designed with comfort and convenience in mind, the new DQ features spacious booths, a dedicated mobile order pick-up area, drive-thru service, and a sunny outdoor patio, plus the iconic 14-foot red spoon that fans know and love. Guests can enjoy a full menu of DQ favorites, including Signature Stackburgers™, Chicken Strip Baskets, dipped cones, sundaes, shakes, and, of course, the legendary Blizzard® Treats.

The restaurant will be open, starting on January 15 at 122 Walnut Bottom Road, Shippensburg, PA., from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Sunday through Saturday, with the drive-thru open until midnight.
