North Myrtle Beach is getting two new, national-chain restaurants, as both have been expanding through the greater Myrtle Beach region in recent years.

A Dairy Queen and Dunkin’ Donuts are slated to open in North Myrtle Beach next to the Zips Car Wash at 4404 Highway 17 South. Construction hasn’t started yet; only a construction sign announcing the project stands on the property.

The buildings will be done in either June or July 2024, said Majid Adwan with Pyramids Construction LLC. Adwan, a project manager for the Wind Flower Townhomes development in downtown Myrtle Beach, added that both stores will have a drive-thru and will probably be in operation in September 2024, the total square footage being 10,000.

Adwan added that the two separate buildings will have six total units, four without a current proposed occupant. The two new stores come after both national brands have added multiple locations across the Grand Strand in recent years.

Diary Queen opened new locations in 2020 and 2021, and in 2015 the fast food chain added eight stores in the Myrtle Beach area as part of adding 75 eateries throughout South Carolina.

Dunkin’ Donuts added sites in recent years, too. In October 2023, Dunkin’ added a location near TPC Golf Course in Murrells Inlet.
