Dairy Queen is coming back to Hong Kong. After several years without a single shopfront in the city, the American soft-serve chain is preparing a comeback with four new stores, the first of which — at The Angle mall in Kwun Tong — is expected to open in November 2026.

What's happening?
Dairy Queen, the American soft-serve and treats chain famous for its Blizzard ice cream, is making a comeback to Hong Kong with four new stores planned, according to reporting from The Standard, the South China Morning Post and afoodieworld. The first confirmed location is at The Angle, a Sun Hung Kai Properties mall at 98 How Ming Street, Kwun Tong, with an opening targeted for November 2026.
Hoarding has already appeared at the Kwun Tong site, according to The HK Hub, giving early visibility of the brand's return — including prominent signage for its signature Blizzard treat — ahead of the store's opening.

Why is Dairy Queen coming back now?
The South China Morning Post's coverage of the comeback frames the timing against Hong Kong's retail rents, which have softened enough in recent years to make prime mall space more attainable for international brands re-entering the market. Four stores in one push is a notably confident rollout compared with the single-shopfront returns more typical of comeback brands in the city.
Inside The Angle, Kwun Tong
The Angle is a roughly 500,000 sq ft Sun Hung Kai Properties shopping centre at 98 How Ming Street, part of the wider The Millennity development in Kwun Tong, which opened in phases from May 2026. It's already home to How Dept, the cult Japanese-curated homeware store and café that returned to the same street a decade after it first closed — making Kwun Tong one of the more interesting comeback corridors in the city's retail scene right now.
