Chill out this spring at DQ! Dairy Queen is king to ice cream lovers, thanks to the shop’s popular cones, sundaes, shakes and, of course, Blizzards. And they’ve been the coolest place for cool treats ever since they first opened in 1940. The ice cream shop celebrates spring with its annual (and extremely popular) FREE Cone Day on the first day of the sunny season.
