Exciting News for North Myrtle Beach: Dairy Queen and Dunkin’ Donuts Coming Soon!
The vibrant community of North Myrtle Beach is gearing up for some delicious additions! Two beloved national-chain restaurants, Dairy Queen and Dunkin’ Donuts, are set to open their doors, bringing even more tasty dining options to the area. The buzz around town is that these two spots will take up residence next to Zips Car Wash at 4404 Highway 17 South.
What to Expect: Construction Timeline and Features
Although both restaurants have yet to break ground, locals can spot a construction sign at the site. Plans are in place for construction to kick off shortly, with a completion date aimed for either June or July in 2024. According to the project manager, Majid Adwan, the excitement is building as preparations begin for these popular eateries.
When finished, the two establishments are expected to cover a total of approximately 10,000 square feet, featuring separate buildings with six total units. While Dairy Queen and Dunkin’ Donuts will be the star attractions, there are four more units that currently don’t have any proposed occupants. Just imagine the potential for more delicious options coming to town in the future!
Drive-Thru Convenience for Busy Beachgoers
One of the most exciting features of these new locations is that both will boast convenient drive-thru service. This is great news for anyone who’s busy enjoying North Myrtle Beach’s beautiful scenery and doesn’t want to make a lengthy stop for their favorite treats. Whether it’s a Blizzard from Dairy Queen or a hot cup of coffee from Dunkin’, locals and visitors alike will soon have easy access to their favorites at the push of a button.
Dairy Queen and Dunkin’: A Trend of Expansion
This isn’t the first time Dairy Queen has made waves in the Myrtle Beach area. They opened several locations in 2020 and 2021, following a strategy to revamp their presence in South Carolina. Back in 2015, they had ambitious plans to launch 75 new locations across the state, and North Myrtle Beach seems to be the next stop on that delicious journey.
Dunkin’ Donuts isn’t one to be left behind either. Just last October, they opened a new location near the TPC Golf Course in Murrells Inlet, adding to their growing list of spots in the region. With such an appetite for growth, it’s clear that these brands are ready to serve more of their tasty menu items to the residents and visitors of the Grand Strand.
