DQ Grill & Chill® Franchise Opportunity
BRING A TIMELESS TRADITION TO YOUR COMMUNITY
The secret to the DQ® brand’s success has always been simple. Our recipe combines hardworking individuals and great-tasting food that’s served in a welcoming environment. What began as the 10-cent sale of an unknown frozen treat in 1938 quickly boomed into one of the most well-known soft serve/frozen treat companies of all time. Food franchising had yet to exist, but the Dairy Queen® product’s rapid-growth potential made the process a piece of cake. Today, there are more than 7,500 restaurants in 20 countries.
If you’re looking to play a bigger role in your community and build a team who will create great customer experiences, we’ve got a treat for you. We’re looking for qualified individuals or groups to help us continue our story as Dairy Queen® franchisees. Are you motivated and willing to help us delight our fans with the refreshing atmosphere, delectable food, and chocolate-dipped happiness you’ve come to know and love? If so, we have the resources to guide you towards successful Dairy Queen® franchise ownership.
World famous DQ® Treats and tasty food offerings.
Strong brand presence with over 4,000 domestic locations and more than 7,500 worldwide.
