Yippee! It’s so exciting that the first ever Dairy Queen has opened right here in Kings County. Our very own beep Eric Adams snipped the red ribbon on the DQ Grill & Chill on Oct. 28, along with members of the DQ staff.
Dairy Queen’s Brooklyn store boasts 2,300 square feet of chillin’ dairy goodness that ain’t just ice cream. No sir, from it’s wrap snacks to triple-berry frothy made with real fruit, the confections and delicious menu just keeps on coming. Oh, and you can get cakes, too. Sign up now join in the Blizzard Fan Club.
Standing O’s very favorite Candy Cane Oreo is on the menu and waiting to be slurped right up. So, come on down. It’s open seven days a week, from 10:30 am to 10:30 pm, and until 11 pm on Friday and Saturday.

Happiness is a warm house
Thanks go out to Petro Home Services for offering its “Warm Home” program. The organization will solicit nominations from each area for a needy family that Petro could donate home heating oil to for the holiday season. Customers can nominate a deserving neighbor, get a delivery of up to 1,000 gallons of oil or propane the holidays.
Millions of people throughout the Northeast struggle to pay their heating bills. The average American family spends 2–3 percent of its income heating its home. A low-income family spends 10–15 percent on home heating. This discrepancy lies in the fact that low-income families earn less than their neighbors. But having a warm home to come home to at the end of every day shouldn’t be a luxury.
You can make your nomination now on Facebook or by completing the form at petro.com/
All entries for the Warm Home campaign must be received by Dec. 8. The winner will be announced on Dec. 15.
“Everyone on the Petro Home Services team is excited to be a part of this program, which will help warm the homes and hearts of deserving neighbors in need and increase awareness about the importance of having a warm home,” said Joe McDonald, senior veep of sales and marketing. “The Warm Home program demonstrates what our company is all about, one that cares about its community,” Petro Home Services [1820 Cropsey Ave. and Bay 19th Street in Bath Beach; (800) 645–4328; www.petro.com].
