Dairy Queen is not your typical burger joint, you can have your pick of a variety of tasty items such as their famous DQ Blizzards, birthday cakes, hot dogs, ice cream, and many more “hot eats and cool treats”. Dairy Queen was one of the earliest pioneers of food franchising, and has over 6,400 stores in 27 different countries such as Saudi Arabia, China, Thailand, Mexico, Poland, and Egypt just to name a few. The majority of locations serve both hot food year round so you can stop by DQ anytime and pick up some french fries, hamburgers, chicken, or salad if you’re looking for something healthy. Cold item availability may vary by location, but should be available at your local DQ during the spring and summer seasons at least. So whether you need a DQ Cake to bring to a birthday party or just want to have a seat and have your delicious meal served to you, Dairy Queen is happy to let you experience “Fan Food, Not Fast Food”.
