Memories of DQ downtown! Cruise nights and just hanging out in Lombard. Who remembers? 🍦🚗

July is National Ice Cream Month, and there's no better place to celebrate than Lombard's beloved Dairy Queen at the corner of Main and Maple Street. No matter the season, this longtime favorite remains part of the village's history.

Built as one of the original Dairy Queen franchises, the building still displays its vintage neon DQ sign. While most locations replaced theirs in the late 1950s, this one never changed. Today, the sign is a designated landmark and is believed to be one of the last original neon signs still standing in northern Illinois.

Pictured is a 1988 photograph originally published in the "The Lombardian" giving it that classic black-and-white look!
