Dairy Queen No More!
The Dairy Queen on South 10th Street in Noblesville is demolished on Monday afternoon to make way for the coming Pleasant Street roundabout. Demolition continued on Tuesday. The Noblesville DQ has served the community for 68 years, since 1954, and the current location since 1975. The DQ is owned by the Reasner family (J.D. Restaurants), who bought the Noblesville Dairy Queen in 1989. Cathy McConnell Zeller, a 1972 graduate of Noblesville High School, started working at the original Dairy Queen across the street in March 1969, at age 15. She was general manager when the store closed on Aug. 7 and is now managing the Greenfield location.
