A History of Sweet Success

While many things have changed for us over the years, one thing remains constant: we have always been and continue to be a place for celebrations, much-needed breaks, and family time with delicious food and treats. The secret to our success is just as simple now as it was when we first opened in 1940. Happy customers make successful restaurants. Dairy Queen ® locations follow much more than a fast-food routine - we create meaningful, memorable moments for our fans and quality experiences for our franchisees.

Discover the history of Dairy Queen ®, from its humble beginnings with Grandpa and Alex McCullough's creation of soft-serve ice cream; from the iconic Blizzard™ Treat to the evolution of our food system with the DQ Grill & Chill ® concept. For over 80 years, Dairy Queen ® has been a trailblazer in the quick-service restaurant industry.

Though our brand has had many contributors over the years, the late John Mooty, former Chairman of the Board at International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) for 20 years, once reminded us that it is our responsibility as caretakers of the Brand to ensure that we leave the DQ ® brand in a better place for the next generation.

Few brands achieve iconic status, but DQ ® is one of them. As caretakers of this brand for over 80 years, we are proud to see it continue to grow and prosper around the world. Join us today as we grow and share our celebrated brand across all generations!
