It’s official folks!
The AJC is reporting that at long last the owner of the Decatur Dairy Queen, Nisar Momin, signed a lease with Centro Development last week to open a new location at Trinity Triangle (aka “Arlo”).
Also of note, the AJC reports that Asst. City Manager Lyn Menne told them that Centro “agreed to a rental rate considerably below market rate to make it happen”.
According to the blurb, the new location likely won’t open until Spring 2016.

great news — now let’s hope the landlord doesn’t try to make up for that below-market rental rate by charging DQ patrons for parking
So happy these lovely folks will be back in the neighborhood! They have been missed.
Huh…Maybe I was hallucinating, but I could swear there was news a couple months ago that this was already a done deal. Anyway, great news!
Yay!
Yay! Welcome back to the neighborhood.
I’ll bet we really owe a few folks at the city a big ‘THANK YOU’ for this one.
I give ’em six months at most.
(Obligatory negative comment about a Decatur retail opening. Just kidding. Welcome back)

I can’t believe the guy in the picture isn’t holding a Blizzard upside down! I’m glad they will be back, and I’m sure many RMS students will be happy to see them too.
So freaking happy that they are really making this happen.
I am glad to hear this. As to thanking someone, anyone who likes that development should thank the Momins, as I understand they had the option and were prepared to purchase the property their store occupied, and relinquished it at the City’s request.
Talk about making my day! Nothing beats good news. Yea-a-a-a-a-a!!!!
SUPER GOOD NEWS!!
Cappuccino Heath Bar or Turtle Pecan Cluster…so many choices.
