Hasn't the Subway Dairy Queen Been Up for Sale?

On December 2, 2021, I posted a story saying that three Rochester area Dairy Queens were up for sale, the one in the Marriot Subway the least expensive at $55,700. The real estate was up for sale because the owner wanted to retire.

The Real Estate listing page doesn't seem to be up anymore, but here's what they said about the Dairy Queen in the Subway...

Reason for Selling: The existing owner is retiring from the restaurant business." Read More: There Are Three Dairy Queens for Sale In and Near Rochester |

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean

With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
