Landmark west Charlotte Dairy Queen, built in 1947, listed for sale

CHARLOTTE — The Dairy Queen in west Charlotte has been listed for sale.

The shop, located at 2732 Wilkinson Boulevard, was put up for sale on Sept. 22 for $1.4 million. According to one listing, the half-acre site just outside of Uptown Charlotte has various retail uses, including fast food, express oil change and auto detailing/car wash.

There’s a slight easement on the east side of property for drainage, the listing reads.

The news comes after the iconic Plaza Midwood Dairy Queen off Central Avenue closed in 2019, which was owned by the same family that operates the Wilkinson Boulevard shop. The family reopened that shop in the Eastway Crossing Shopping Center, about five minutes from the original location.

According to the Landmarks Commission, the shop in west Charlotte was built in 1947. It’s the oldest franchise of the ice cream chain in North Carolina and the third oldest in the southeast.

Channel 9 has reached out to the realtor for more information but has not yet heard back.
