In late 2025, Dairy Queen officially opened a new DQ Urban Concept Store at 1475 South Park St at Spring Garden Rd. in downtown Halifax featuring its full grill and chill menu. The 2000 square foot DQ Grill & Chill is designed for quick service, longer hours, and mobile-focused ordering, aiming to keep pace with a busy city centre. “Our urban design concept reflects our commitment toinnovation and meeting the evolving needs of our fans,” said Connie Wolbaum, Director of Franchise Development Canada. “We’re thrilled to bring this experience to more communities across Canada.” Building on this momentum, Dairy Queen Canada will open its second urban design 2000 square foot location in the Burquitlam neighbourhood in Coquitlam in British Columbia later in 2026, with additional urban concept expansion slated for Ontario in the near future.
