About Dairy Queen
This sweet story of success of Dairy Queen began in 1938 when a father and son from Illinois, USA came up with a soft frozen dairy product, which was a unique product at that time. They asked a friend to run a 10-cent trial sale of this new product in his walk-in ice cream store. Just within two hours from its launching, the new dessert was sold out.
This American brand continues to be a leader in the food and ice cream industry and is hailed as one of the largest fast food systems in the world, with over 6,000 restaurants in the United States and in other countries.
Here in the Philippines, Dairy Queen opened its first branch in 2006. The country franchise is currently managed and owned by PPI Holdings, Inc., a company under the Araneta Group of Companies.
PPI Holdings also owns the Philippine franchises of foreign brands such as Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, which is also the reason why in most locations in the Philippines, these three stores (Taco Bell, Dairy Queen, and Pizza Hut) are typically located beside each other.
Dairy Queen Franchise Details
To interested franchisees, the Dairy Queen headquarters offers a multi-unit franchise, which means franchisees can get the rights to own multiple units in an exclusive territory or country.
In the case of the Philippines, however, the Araneta Group of Companies has already purchased the rights to own and operate the Dairy Queen business exclusively in the country.
