Dairy Queen (DQ) as a chain is not closing entirely, but some Dairy Queen locations have been closing in 2025, particularly in Texas. These closures started in February 2025, with at least 25 locations closing initially, and that number increased to around 40 by April 2025. These closures are primarily due to specific franchisees choosing to close their stores rather than invest in renovations requested by the corporate headquarters. This is not a chain- wide closure but rather individual store closures by certain franchise operators.
If you are asking about daily closing times for a DQ store, typical store closing times vary, often around 10 PM, with the closing process taking anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the store size and busyness.
In summary:
- Dairy Queen as a whole is not closing indefinitely.
- Selected stores, especially in Texas, have been closing through 2025 due to franchisee decisions.
- Store daily closing hours are typically around 10 PM, with cleaning and closing work continuing afterward.
