“The franchise owners are eager to reopen the restaurant, although the timeline to reopen will be determined at a later date,” the email stated.

This location is a seasonal restaurant that typically opens in mid-March and closes in mid-November.

In late December, a Jeep crashed into the location causing structural and plumbing damage. Officials said equipment was damaged, too.

A 23-year-old Centerville man was north on Shroyer Road around 6:40 a.m. Dec. 21 when he apparently lost control of the 2006 Jeep Wrangler, drove over the curb and continued across Gainsborough Road before he crashed into the Dairy Queen, according to a Dayton Police Department crash report.

The driver was cited for failure to control, the report stated.

Other nearby Dairy Queen locations include 2056 E. Dorothy Lane in Kettering, 4148 Dayton-Xenia Pike in Beavercreek and 4812 Airway Road in Dayton. For more information, visit www.dairyqueen.com.
