I just drove by Handel's today in Hilliard and they still had a sign up saying "closed for the winter." Likewise, I called the Powell location and that number was disconnected...does anyone know what happened to them? I'm assuming they're out of business.

I e-mailed Handel's two weeks ago and received a prompt reply that the Hilliard/Feder Road location has not established an opening date yet - IMO meaning it's not going to reopen. I was also told I could visit the Powell Road location if I had any outstanding gift certificates. Likely a bad franchise, yet I haven't seen any franchise offers for a Handel's in Columbus. I'm a bit surprised because when they were open they always seemed to be doing good business. Oh well, back to the Hilliard Dairy Queen - that family run business is a good corporate citizen.

I'm a bit late to the discussion, but I wanted to let you know that the Handel's location in Hilliard will be opening under new management in March.
The reason the Hilliard and Powell locations closed before was not because of business (I worked there for about three years, business was always booming) but because the owner decided he no longer wanted to work in the business and he closed both of the stores. As you know, the location in Powell reopened under new management quickly.
I hope to see you at the opening in March!Posted 4 months ago # -
