Husband and wife duo open new DQ Grill & Chill in Perryville

PERRYVILLE, Mo. Perryville just got a whole lot tastier with a new DQ® restaurant coming to town.

American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ), an iconic leader in treats and food, announced today a new DQ Restaurant with its grand opening on November 18. Nicely situated at 790 South Perryville Blvd., the new restaurant will be owned by local husband and wife entrepreneurs, Stephanie and Dominic Stark. 

“For us, this is more than just opening a business, it’s about adding something special to our community,” said Dominic Stark. “We envision our Dairy Queen as a place where families and friends can gather, connect, and create lasting memories. Whether it’s stopping by after a school event, celebrating a birthday, or simply enjoying a treat together, we want everyone who walks through our doors to feel like they’re part of something meaningful. We hope to accomplish just that as we officially open our doors in Perryville.”

This location marks Stephanie and Dominic Stark’s first venture into restaurant ownership, where they look forward to serving their community in a new way. As small business owners from Southeast Missouri, the Starks bring extensive experience to their Dairy Queen location. They’ve developed strong communication, problem-solving, leadership, and hospitality skills through years of operating a commercial glass business and a broad property management company.

The restaurant will serve its iconic food and treats, including Signature Stackburgers™, Chicken Strip Baskets and world-famous DQ soft serve in cones, sundaes, shakes, and the signature Blizzard® Treat, among many more craveable menu items.

A welcoming environment for all, the new DQ restaurant features a modern design with large comfortable booths, community tables and chairs, a designated mobile order pick-up counter, drive-thru lanes, an outdoor patio, and an iconic 14-foot DQ red spoon.

The restaurant will be open, starting today, November 18, from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday 10 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday through Saturday.
