Interested in starting a Dairy Queen Franchise? You’ll want to read this !

From its humble beginnings in Kankakee, Illinois, Dairy Queen’s promise has always been “We Treat You Right.”

Dairy Queen began in 1938 with a 10 cent sale of a soft frozen dairy product that was then unnamed. This new dessert had been concocted by a father and son who then asked a friend in the ice cream business to offer an “all you can eat” trial at his store.

Dairy Queen Franchise Information

The first Dairy Queen restaurant was opened in June of 1940. Today there are over 5,700 Dairy Queens around the world.

These franchises offer a wide variety of products. Although they focus on frozen treats, many Dairy Queen locations have a full menu to offer their customers a complete restaurant.

Dairy Queen Franchise History

Dairy Queen took off after World War II, skyrocketing to 1,446 franchises by 1950. Today, this franchise is one of the largest fast food companies in the world.

Dairy Queen started with a soft frozen dairy product, adding malts and shakes in 1949 and banana splits in 1951. Blizzard treats were introduced in 1985.

Today the company offers possible franchisers two great restaurant concepts. One is the DQ Orange Julius store, which serves DQ frozen treats and Orange Julius’ fruit drinks and smoothies. The DQ Grill and Chill restaurant offers a full menu alongside the traditional frozen treats.

Support and Training

If you are interested in starting your own Dairy Queen, you will find that the company is more than helpful. As you go through each step of setting up one of your own franchises, they will guide you and be there to answer any questions that you might have.

The company is eager to discuss this opportunity with you to see if opening a Dairy Queen restaurant is the right choice for you.

What They’re Looking For

Dairy Queen is looking for people who love ice cream and other frozen treats and want to share that love with others.

They want people who will embrace their goals of a family friendly and customer oriented culture, both in America and in their other locations around the world.

If your love for ice cream matches your love for people, you might find that owning a Dairy Queen is the perfect fit for you.
