Orange Julius is a subsidiary of Dairy Queen, and this location features both chains and their offerings (on the DQ side, only the ice cream stuff - not a full menu that includes burgers, etc.). This is awesome for someone who, like me, was craving an Orange Julius (original Orange flavor). Except... It was 8:15 PM and the mall would close at 9 PM. No problem, right? I get to the counter to put in my order, but the worker tells me the Orange Julius side is closed for the day! I asked if this was routine, and she told me they typically close that side one hour earlier than the DQ side. I didn't ask why; I'm not trying to find out if there is a sound business reason for doing this. All I wanted was my Orange Julius. I was back a few days later, and this time in the middle of the afternoon so there was no way they'd be closed...and guess what? I got my Orange Julius. :) For those who don't know, this is how Orange Julius started, back in 1926 (taken from their official site - orangejulius.com/about-us ). They offer more things, but I still go with the original: "It all started with a guy who really liked oranges. People called him Julius Freed. Julius liked oranges so much, in fact, that he opened his very own orange juice stand. Sales were slow. But Julius was not alone. He had a friend named Bill Hamlin. Bill also really liked oranges, but they upset his stomach. So Bill got an idea: he blended his orange juice with a few choice ingredients to make it less acidic. It also happened to make it frothy and delicious. Bill introduced the drink to Julius. Julius introduced the drink to his customers. His customers introduced their friends. And soon the store was lined with thirsty fans shouting, "Give me an orange, Julius!" Sales went through the roof and an original was born."
