-We were all young and stupid...I’m just not young anymore...😁
-Flipped burgers for George and Marilyn Mann (Sunnucks) there in the 70’s while Gail Greenaway Young and Karen Tales pumped out the ice cream treats!

-Definitely! First job, two minute walk from home. I remember eating fries with ice milk on the side. Delicious!
-I worked there too! I had trouble getting the curly cue at the top of the ice cream 🍦 but for $2.15 hour I learned 🙄
-Excellent burgers when they first put the grill in.
-Is this the same location as the one we have now on Guelph St
-yes, same place, old building
-so there was a Texico station next door. What year would this have been as I have only been in town since 1981
-Likely the 70’s sometime, I worked there from about 1971 thru 1973. I think the new store was built sometime in the late 70’s/early 80’s?
-Once they had the sign read, "Our beef comes exclusively from dead cows". I was up for a couple of days before removing it. I thought it was funny although others did not.
- also worked there when Mr. Lloyd owned it. He was a tough boss.
-He sure was!
-used to be treated to DQ on report card day when we were young. Now receive gift cards for Easter each year, my parents like to shop local - thank heavens! Yummy!
-Almost only place to hang out. Grew up on Rexway
-Grew up one long block down the road on Shelley Street
-the best banana splits ever every time I go back home I get one oh the best
-Dad Glenn brought my sister Michele and I there alot growing up. Had many laughs there. I still have a stuffed wizard they gave as a gift with purchase. I think of our adventures there and giggle. Thank you Dad for the memories <3
-I still visit. Brampton only has treat outlets - no Flamethrowers Burgers
-I worked at East End Texaco (in the background)
for Ernie Curry from the time I was 13 until I graduated GDHS.
-1969 - 1974
Likely around the time this picture was taken, by the looks of the cars
-so did I : ) but for jim piccinini. Right after they went self-serve.
-And I believe that Janice Carlson was starting at the Texaco just before I was leaving, when Neil Racicot bought it
-Remember it well.
-Used to go there as a kid after a soccer game for slushies. At least I think that was what they were called.
-mister misty
- mr misty,s
-I played on the Dairy Queen girls softball team. Every time we won we got a free ice cream cone. Yummy. Later in life it was the hot fudge sundaes that drew me there. Great place to meet people too.
-Lived just down the street. You knew it was Spring when it opened for the season.
-Memories
-Wow the memories!
-I made $1.10 an hour .. then went to Zellers for $1.35 an hour .. thought I was in heaven .. so much more to spend at the Station House 🍻🍻
-I remember when DQ just sold Ice cream
-I worked there when younger brings back memories
-The grass out front was often covered with us kids mid mid 60s 🍦
-So this store would have been open only 6 months a year I think?
-when they built this one with the brazier attached, it remained open year round. Previous ice cream only was summer time only.
-Omgosh. Was a real treat for us. Dad would load us up in the car and take us to Dairy Queen. Anybody would think that we were going to Disneyland. Such good memories.
-I remember when they closed down in the winter,how times change
-Im a Dairy Queen girl. It was my first job lol
-The only burger place my dad would take us to.
-One of my favorite places
-You could get a ice cream cone for .05 cent's
-I remember the banana split sales. Maybe that's why I developed a life threatening allergy to bananas as an adult? Handling all those slippery, sometimes slimy bananas back in the day! Yikes!
-Yup I remember the Banana split sales too. 😋
-I worked there for a very short time in the 70's until I got fired
-And I also worked there for a very short time until I got fired for not being able to finesse the little swirl on the top of a cone. But I recovered.
-My mom would give me a nickel, when I was 5!!! and send me up Rexway to get a cone, by myself..so hard to imagine anymore. It was a childhood without fear, and I am so grateful to have been a child at that time.
- had park on the proper side of the building....lol
-I remember the location of the first Dairy Queen ! And I remember Sandy Bagely worked there ! Boy, that is a long time ago, boy am I ever getting old ! lol
-I worked therein high school and almost was fired as couldn't get the cone swirl right
- You´ve got to admit: the cone swirl WAS important!
-I remember dog and suds where McDonald is now lol
-medium coke in a large cup ! Good times.
