Dee-Dee Harris opens DQ Orange Julius near SouthPark

The SouthPark area has a new cafeteria and frozen treat shop, owned and operated by prominent Charlottean Dee-Dee Harris.

The DQ Orange Julius shop is located at 6555 Morrison Boulevard, in a building that also houses a Bojangles', Donatos Pizza and a cafeteria. The complex is directly behind SouthPark mall.

Dee-Dee, her husband Cameron Harris and other Harris family members have had a hand in many of Charlotte's biggest real estate projects.

"I am thrilled to have the DQ Orange Julius store in Charlotte open and ready to serve our customers," said Dee-Dee Harris, in a statement. The store will serve frozen goodies, as well as hotdogs and sandwiches.

Great - can she fill in Gleneagles Lake now?

She could fill in that monstrous hole with a Blizzard mix. There are enough fat cats to eat it out on a regular basis.

I thougth it opened back in June or July because we saw the sign and stopped for lunch. But they were still in training and were to open in 2 days.

"What ia an Orange Julius?"......frankly nothing more than a glass full of orange juice and a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream blended together. Thats How I make them at home.

They kicked Orange Julius out of the mall years ago for wearing baggy pants that drooped revealing his underwear. Perfect match for "prominent" deedee and cammee

The Harris family has a long history of business disasters. The sale of the family insurance firm to Wachovia right before the stock tanked. The Ritz Hole. Garden Secrets. And now this to join all of the other second rate restaurants in that building. We all know where this is headed.

The DQ and cafeteria will flop, as are the Boj and pzza place there. Harris' have no ability to run restaurants. Overpriced and cheap/poor food!

OK so now I guess the Observer will give free publicity to every new retail location opening throughout the mketro regardless of who opens one?

The place is great, the cafeteria has really good traditional southern food. This place works great for family because you have now four choices to eat: pizza, fried chicken, cafeteria and the best delicious ice cream from DQ. Also there smoothie are great.

The cafeteria is mediocre.

The space is dark and drab.

But Dee Dee, what about the hole at Seven Weeds?

When will you fill it Dee Dee, when?

I give the Charlotte Observer two years. You call this journalism. No wonder the Big Media outlets are going under.

I don't know why everybody complained the place is nice nad friendly. We love to go there with my family and the new addition is great. We love the food at the cafeteria and my kids enjoy the ice cream treats after their meals.
