Dairy Queen in Tyler began in 1957 with one walk-up store owned by Charles Norwood. These humble beginnings slowly grew to 3 walk-up DQ’s. 1967 Mr. Norwood partnered with Quinton Rasure. Mr. Rasure assumed the role of a 49% business partner. Their unified goal was to add on to their DQ’s by providing customers with a dining room where their neighbors could meet, and grow relationships. The idea was to create a “Happy Place” for Tyler residents to relax and enjoy the world’s Finest Soft Serve. The community responded favorably, and the growth happened rapidly, growing to 8 full service units by September of 1976.
On January 1st, 1980 the ownership was sold to Gene Dudley, Terry Giles, and Darrell Forster.
By 1984, Dudley sold his ⅓ partnership to Forster & Giles. They created a 50/50
partnership, that has grown to 15 Dairy Queens that are thriving to this day.
