DQ Just Closed 25 Texas Locations, Assets Now Up for Auction

Dairy Queen is a popular spot for burgers, shakes, and soft serve in Texas. It's crazy to realize how much we associate Dairy Queen with Texas even though it's a Midwest creation. The power of great marketing is on full display there.

But even DQ has fallen on rough times. Dairy Queen has shut down 24 locations across Texas and now they've each got various kitchen pieces up for auction.

Assets From Texas Dairy Queen Restaurants Up for Auction

So far twenty-five Dairy Queen locations across Texas have been shut down with assets at 24 of those locations now up for auction (KETK).

The auction site, localauctions.com, has photo galleries of the items up for bid at each of the locations in Texas, including the six in East Texas. The buyer will be responsible for the disassembly and removal of the items purchased.

A post from Walt Cade, which was shared on the All Things Tyler Facebook group, says that fixed items, soda machines, CO2 tanks, tea brewers, and IT Equipment are not included in the asset sale of the Longview location.

The post also mentions that the Dairy Queen signage will need to be removed by the buyer by Friday, February 28.

Dairy Queen Restaurant Assets Up for Auction Through February 20

As of this writing (Tuesday, February 18 at 2:30 p.m.), bids range from just over $1,200 to just under $3,100 for the assets. If you're thinking of opening a restaurant yourself, you might be able to find a bargain in these auctions.
