The franchise has steadily declined under DQ/Orange Julius ownership. With only six remaining locations in the US (all in the Midwest) after Sioux Falls closes, it's a foregone conclusion.

I have a feeling that's it's a situation like Howard Johnson's where there are so few locations left that there's not enough of a base left to rebuild from.

Suspecting you meant the restaurant side of Howard Johnson's, I fixed that for you. :)

Karmelcorn is a great place. There was on in the Winter Haven Mall when I went to school in Polk County.
