Change in Ownership of Effingham Dairy Queen

The Effingham County Chamber celebrates the opening of new businesses, locations, or ownerships, and welcomes new Chamber members with ribbon cuttings, new member pictures, and other events and activities.

The Chamber has shared a recent ownership change for Four Scoops Inc., DBA Dairy Queen. Yogi and Bob Patel purchased Dairy Queen in November 2021 from Tom Henderson, Henry Stephens, and Brian Wick. While the ownership might have changed, strong leadership remains under current manager Jeri Bland, who has been with DQ since 1996.
