Check out Hope’s shirt today!!

This isn’t a vintage reproduction…it’s the real thing! 🤯

This Downtown Joliet “Food & Fun!” shirt is 22 years old, and it’s a reminder that we’ve believed in Downtown Joliet for more than two decades. ❤️

Looking at the back of this shirt brings back so many memories of the incredible restaurants, shops, and local businesses that helped shape our downtown over the years. Every logo tells a story, and every business played a part in making Downtown Joliet what it is today.

At Jitters, we’re incredibly grateful to have been part of this community for all these years, and we’re even more excited about what the future holds for Downtown Joliet.

💚 Do you remember any of these iconic spots? Which one was your favorite, and what memories does it bring back? We’d love to hear your stories!

Here’s to celebrating our past while looking forward to an exciting future. ☕✨

Congratulations to our brother, Daniel George Duffy and his team Duffy Signs on being entrusted with the signage for such an incredible piece of Joliet history! Having the opportunity to help restore the world’s first Dairy Queen into a Route 66 landmark is something to be incredibly proud of. Your craftsmanship will be part of preserving this landmark for generations of visitors. Congratulations on being part of such a meaningful project! 👏🎉

The historic Joliet building where Dairy Queen began in 1940 is being transformed into a Route 66 selfie stop, complete with restoration plans and support from the company’s CEO
