Here at the DQ® system, we believe that HAPPY TASTES GOOD®. 

Our first location opened in Joliet, Illinois, 80 years ago. Since then we’ve grown to more than 7,000 DQ® locations in the U.S., Canada and 22 other countries. 

Our restaurants offer a variety of sweet treats and crave-worthy eats that hold a special place in the hearts and minds of fans of all ages, including our signature BLIZZARD® Treat. 

Guided by our vision to become the world’s favorite quick-service restaurant, we’re proud of the multinational company culture we’ve built while maintaining a small community feel. Our hardworking employees believe in our mission of creating positive memories for all who touch DQ.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with offices in Canada and Singapore, our corporate employees support our independent franchisees from our corporate offices and field locations around the world. 

Giving back 
Since 1984, the DQ system has raised more than $154 million to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® in the U.S., and the Children’s Miracle Network Member Hospitals® in Canada. Every time fans and franchisees donate to these causes, every dollar stays in the community to support the local children’s hospital. 

Through our corporate giving initiative, DQ Cares, we provide employees time paid time off to volunteer in their communities.

The majority of our DEI Council members flew in earlier this month to continue efforts to create an inclusive culture for all who touch DQ. 

Allyship was a primary focus, as was the continued pursuit of our diversity, equity and inclusion goals. Ample time was left to network, have fun, and brainstorm the Council’s focus for 2025.

Earlier this week, DQ employees donated backpacks and school supplies to help support our friends at Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities as they help kids prepare for a successful return to school this fall with their annual Back to School Bash. We even provided DILLY Bars for everyone to enjoy at the event. A huge thank you to all our employees who donated and helped with this wonderful event.

Allyship. It's a topic we're focused on as we work to advance our people-first culture. Executive coach, Joni D. Goodman, CPTD, CDTLF, who was trained by Dr. Brene Brown, led the virtual discussion about how we all can be better allies to our colleagues throughout the company.

It’s DQ trivia time! How well do you know DQ history?

Now it's Canada's turn! 

Miracle Treat Day in Canada is Thursday, Aug. 8. Today, participating DQ restaurants in Canada will donate net proceeds for each BLIZZARD Treat sold to bring health and hope to kids at local children’s hospital foundations.

Let's SHARE this post and help as many kids as we can in Canada.

We celebrated our DQ employees in Minnesota last week at Valleyfair Amusement Park in Shakopee, Minnesota. We rode rollercoasters, soaked up the sun, and enjoyed a BBQ with our colleagues and families.

Let’s meet our next 2023 DQ Red Spoon Award winner. As a reminder, DQ Red Spoon Awards are given to employees who provide outstanding service, deliver high-quality products, and create positive memories for all who touch DQ. Today, we recognize Nicholas Braun, Proteins Manager. 

What is your role and what are your responsibilities? I am the Proteins Manager, which means I oversee food safety, quality, and regulation of our protein-based products. 

What do you like most about your job and why? I love the diversity of products that I work with and the opportunity to see how the global team works together behind the scenes. 

What does winning this award mean to you? Winning this award is meaningful to me because I truly enjoy what I do and it reminds me to take a moment and reflect on the journey. 

What do you enjoy doing when you're not at work? My favorite thing to do outside of work is fishing with my kids. Every memory is a keeper! 

Congrats, again, on your Red Spoon Award, Nicholas!

Franchisee Advisory Council meetings are critical to the DQ business. Last week, our Franchisee Advisory Councils in the U.S. and Canada met with DQ team members in Minneapolis to discuss business strategy, marketing, operations and more.
 
It takes a village to prepare for these meetings from council members, franchise owners, corporate presenters, meetings planners, to our R&D team who conducts tastings of products in development. R&D makes all of the product in our DQ test kitchen and, while the flavors are top secret, you can see fun was had by all.
