You might think that every Dairy Queen in Mississippi is the same; however, that’s not necessarily true. There’s one Dairy Queen in Mississippi that stands out from the rest for several reasons. First of all, it no longer operates under the Dairy Queen name. And secondly, it’s been slinging burgers and ice cream for nearly 75 years!
