==History==
===Dairy Queen (1987–2017)===
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
The nearby family-owned [[Red Apple Market]] grocery store located in the shopping center, which had occupied its space since the late 1990s, closed just a few months after Dairy Queen in February 2018 due to increased rent brought on by ROIC among several other factors, including a dwindling shopper-base.<ref>[https://www.kirklandreporter.com/business/bridle-trails-red-apple-to-close-in-february/ "Bridle Trails Red Apple to close in February"], Kirkland Reporter, September 21, 2017.</ref> The Chase Bank branch formerly stationed within the Red Apple store was soon relocated into the Dairy Queen building, and opened to the public at or around the same time as Red Apple's replacement, [[Grocery Outlet]], on August 23, 2018.<ref>[https://www.kirklandreporter.com/news/grocery-outlet-bargain-market-to-open-store-in-bridle-trails/ "Grocery Outlet Bargain Market to open store in Bridle Trails"], Kirkland Reporter, August 17, 2018.</ref> Although the building was again renovated for Chase, many components from its days as Dairy Queen remain, such as retaining the door to the former outdoor patio (which now leads to a pathway back to the front of the building), reusing the drive-thru as a drive-up ATM, and using the "Grill 'n Chill"-style rock pillar near the sidewalk as a sign for the bank, which once held the Dairy Queen logo.
