Ah yes, the old Dairy Queen and Big B's Travel Stop (fka Handy's) locations. I remember coming here alot in my childhood. Very nostalgic. Thanks for doing a walk thru. 🙂👍👍
@Texas Rancher Use to be a Valero truck stop but the name was called "Stars and Stripes". I forget what the restaurant/cafe was called. Been about 6 years since it was removed.
In Texas - it would not be a “grill n chill” - all dq’s in Texas are restaurants with a different menu from the national chain. Ice cream is secondary. They’ve fallen behind some of their competitors, but it used to hill itself as the Texas stop sign they were so ubiquitous.
Itasca is beautiful! I would never have guessed what this was on my drives thru Itasca as it's either late at night or early in the morning when I drive thru but good video wallie.
Glad you did a video on those places. We always see them on the way to visit my wife's family that live north of Austin. There might be an abandoned building that is on the opposite side of 35W. I think right around Itasca.
What a cool find, Wallie! I really like old abandoned gas stations! I like Dairy Queen. Yes, Dairy Queen is a fast food restaurant, but they have good burgers and chili dogs and their ice cream is really good, i.e. blizzards, sundaes, etc. I really like their round ice cream sandwiches. Here in Weirton,WV, on Three Springs Drive, we have a Dairy Queen and it's the Grill and Chill, where you can get a full meal and ice cream treats. Have a Dairy Queenlicious Day!
The Dairy Queen where I live closed up close to four decades ago and has been reporposed into a local restaurant. Another Dairy Queen in Saugerties closed over three decades ago, demolished and will now be a Starbucks. Most gas stations in New York are usually repurposed into another gas brand.
Crispy Krunchy chicken is a brand sold exclusively in gas station grills. Brock Junction sold it also. They've actually sold several different ones. I haven't eaten it so I don't know how good it is.
That shell kinda did something similar to what a shell here in my town did, there was a shell on a intersection then then the intersection when through a big expansion so they demolished the shell and it moved to a different intersection by the highway that passes the road it has not closed since it has good service and it have many more pumps
Quite a while ago shell had an agreement w Kroger. You could use 100 grocery points and save 10 cents a gallon on your gas at shell. I was in Houston when that was in play.
Go to Henderson TX if you want to see(what I believe) is the last open FINA gas station that didn't turn into ALON. If your as big into gas stations as me then it's a must to check out.
Bruh no way...I stopped to take pictures of that place a couple months ago... I saw the thumbnail as was like, why do I know that place?? I didn't even know what town we were in but I know thats the one.
There's always that 9-yr old that goes, "FiRsT" Like, Nobody cares nor asked dude. That doesn't even matter. That's not a good thing. You don't get a medal for making the 1st one in the comment section. Those kind of people are fatherless 5 - year old switch no life who don't touch grass and don't know what a tree is. ----___----
Nice Two Different Abandoned Places Wallie Hope You Keep Making Awesome Everyday. Thank You for Watching!!!

i live in itasca and it’s nice to know people actually notice this town still
I really enjoy videos of old gas stations: that Dairy Queen has some character.
Itasca is beautiful! I would never have guessed what this was on my drives thru Itasca as it's either late at night or early in the morning when I drive thru but good video wallie.

Awesome Wallie
Grocery rewards was likely Kroger. I know here in Cincy, many Shells partner with Kroger to use the Kroger Plus fuel points for discounted gas.
Excellent video Wally 🎉and cheers to the truckers for sure- check out the blow fly songs “Convoy” and “rap dirty”😂
Well done as always Wallie! Stay awesome!

There’s a recently abandoned Walmart in Louisville you could explore. They have all the shelves in the place
I’ve lived in Itasca since I was born!
Wow, I never thought Itasca is this pretty!

I like Dairy Queen and they have good food ! We used to have a Dairy Queen,until it closed down and put a gas station in it's place.
Awesome video with a beautiful sunset in Texas 👍😎🇺🇸🌑
Wow that is vintage! Very cool!

Hows it going Wallie great job keep them cleared out!!!!!
You should have seen the old Dairy Queen in Azle, TX that closed in 2021, shortly before it was demolished last year.
I love your videos! Thank you for all that you do!!
Grocery rewards was likely Kroger. There more then anything thanks for sharing this video wallie :D
The Dairy Queen is now Aralyn's Breakfast and Burritos
WallieB26, totally awesome and cool abandoned DQ and Shell! Really enjoyed your awesome and cool video!
We have one just like this. Don't see it sticking around too much longer because it's right next to Bucees
I always look forward to your videos
Maybe the weekend 😊
The sunset was pretty

A another video from wallie 👏👏👏👏
Stay gold pony boy! That sunset!
Yay Wallie amazing video is out ☺️🙂😊😎
Very cool
There’s an abandoned DQ in Pleasanton, TX and McAllen, TX
Over here we have reward points on grocery discount cards for discounts on gas at circle k. That chicken is sold at a Chevron station here.
In Indy Kroger has rewards you can use at shell for gas discounts
Awesome video
The Grocery Reward for Shell is from Winn-Dixie
Some areas have Kroger and some have Winn-Dixie and in areas that have Kroger and Winn Dixie they have both
Krispy Krunchy some good chicken bro and that installation on the floor from the ceiling falling down
Good video! An abandoned Dairy Queen and Shell/Truck stop place!! That looks in pretty bad shape. I wonder if both places are just used for storage!
I never heard of 86.5 before
Nice wallie I do miss Texas 😃
Reward points are most likely Albertsons or Shaws if any in that area
Cool video
That sonic that is connected to shell. Cool. Do they have tables to sit at inside? Most Michigan sonics you eat in your car I believe
Yummys donuts moved in the old DQs in warrensburg and Sedalia mo.
I remember a old Gaston in Tennessee it had every single thing in the story part it was years ago
We have an abandoned dq here in Bradford pa
Yes it was a shell's store you can see it on Google maps
I live in Itasca someone has been working on that old Dairy Queen.
This my hometown
Awesome
It was a shell gas station from Kroger stores use gas point
Dude they had a ty display!
Dairy Queen in Itasca Texas was not a Grill and chill
Bruh no way...I stopped to take pictures of that place a couple months ago... I saw the thumbnail as was like, why do I know that place?? I didn't even know what town we were in but I know thats the one.
I remember when dairy Queen use to sell breakfast in the day
I like it your video 👍
