ST. CLOUD – St. Cloud’s Red Barn Dairy Queen has a new owner and a new plan to stay open all year long.
Jake Asfeld has taken over for Virgil and Lori Flock, who owned the Red Barn Dairy Queen, located along Highway 10, for almost 30 years. Last year, the Flocks took to Facebook to announce their plan to retire and sell the business.
Unfortunately, the Flocks weren’t having much luck finding a buyer – which Asfeld learned from his daughter, an employee of the restaurant.
“When she told us it was closing for good, I said, ‘no, there’s no way,” Asfeld explained. “So I stopped by, talked to (Virgil) and he said yeah – they couldn’t find anybody to keep it going.”
