The Joliet City Council awarded landmark status to the building, which now houses a storefront church but was home to the first Dairy Queen in 1940, the Joliet Herald-News reported Wednesday.

"It was developed in Kankakee, but the first actual store with the Dairy Queen name was here," said Bob Nachtrieb, a member of the Joliet Historic Preservation Commission.

Dairy Queen, with headquarters in Edina, Minn., now has about 5,900 locations in operation in 22 countries.
