The Hippie Dome - open during summer only
In late 2017, we bought the iconic Dairy Queen Dome on State Ave. That winter, we installed a kitchen, put up a new sign, and started our first venture into the brick-and-mortar restaurant business. We hit the ground running and became one of the go-to spots for lunch in Alpena. There were a lot of late nights and a pretty steep learning curve. After starting out with two very part-time employees in our first year, we had 15 people employed during our first summer in the dome. In the summer of 2021, we expanded the Dome to include indoor dining at the Hippie Garage! Not only does this help with additional seating but also gives our patrons the option to cool off in this shaded space. Big Thanks to Aaron Golbeck for adding the Hippie Dude Mural on our wall.
