Ok, I got my night shot with reflections from the rain.....This rain can stop anytime now.
The Port Colborne Dairy Queen at 73 Main St. E. is a rare 1954 walk‑up location that was the second Dairy Queen ever opened in Canada, making it a genuine heritage stop for tourists and locals alike. Its iconic neon rooftop sign—dark for more than 40 years—was fully restored and re‑lit, becoming a nostalgic landmark once again. The shop is also the only royalty‑free Dairy Queen in Canada, a unique contract preserved from its original owner, John Sergnese. Today it continues to operate with its original 1950s design, drawing steady crowds and maintaining a strong 4.6‑star rating from over 570 reviews. With upcoming retro celebrations marking its 70‑year legacy, it remains one of Port Colborne’s most beloved and photogenic attractions for visitors and locals.
Thanks for keeping this GEM alive Rick Wilsher (current Owner)
