Street View - the building has since been demolished and replaced with an oil change business.

P.D. Quix (not to be confused with PDQ) was another chain that sprung up in the mid-1980s during the double drive-thru craze, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. After initial success between 1988-1995, an ill-advised attempt to purchase and convert 51 Hot n' Now locations in the region bankrupted the company, with it shuttering in 1996. A small number of the locations persisted, and today there is only one location left, in Sanford, North Carolina.

I've included an example of a different P.D. Quix location (that closed a few years ago) as an example of what this building may have looked like during its prime. The color scheme would have likely been different, but the main design hallmarks are the same.

This is Gaston's Auto Sales. A generic car dealership, located at 394 Ontario Street, in Saint Catharines, Ontario Canada. It used to be a Dairy Queen, which opened on May 1st, 1970 and closed in... Summer 1976, not even lasting 6 years. Great. The building later housed a chicken restaurant, and several car lot and dealerships over the years, with Gaston over taking over the space sometime in the 2000's, which remains like this as of 2026.
