Dairy Queen (DQ), owned by International Dairy Queen, Inc. and a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, started as an ice cream store specializing in soft-serve ice cream.
DQ’s original soft-serve ice cream recipe was formulated by father and son, John Fremont “Grandpa” and Bradley McCullough in 1938. They sold over 1, 600 ice creams at 10 cents each in an “all you can eat” trial sale in Sherb Noble’s walk-in ice cream store on April 4, 1938. The first DQ store was opened in Joliet, Illinois in 1940. From its 10 stores in 1941, DQ now has 6, 000 restaurants worldwide.
Through time, DQ evolved into a fast food chain offering other delicious treats like cake, pizza, chicken, burger, fries, quesadilla, fries and a lot more. While DQ does not directly do catering, they do accommodate bulk orders.
