Brothers Sadiq Pathrawala and Asfak Momin have invested in their fourth Dairy Queen. which Pathrawala says is a unique, 3,000-square-foot plan with a covered patio and double drive at the entrance to Park 53 at Braselton. Joining in for the ribbon-cutting were employees and the owners’ parents, Raja and Zarina Pathrawala, who traveled from India for the occasion.
