About us

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. Careers If you believe in creating happy smiles, lasting memories and unforgettable moments, we want to hear from you.

  Wishing our DQ employees, franchise owners and fans around the world a joyful Lunar New Year and Chinese Spring Festival. Our teams in China recently welcomed the “Year of the Horse”, celebrating the teamwork, culture and shared success that defined the past year, and the momentum building for the year ahead. Did you know we have more than 1,800 DQ restaurants in China? Happy New Year!

  DQ history is full of nostalgia. The image below represents a decade that featured the debut of DILLY Bars and Banana Splits. Can you name it?

  With views like this, how could you not stop and smile? One of our newest DQ restaurants in Canada recently opened in Blairmore, Alberta. All told, 7 new DQ restaurants opened in Canada last quarter! So, here's to more hot foods, sweet treats and mountain views.

  Over the years, we're so proud that DQ Cakes have become a key part of birthday celebrations, graduations, holidays and a host of other celebratory events across the world.

  How do we keep our corporate employees close to the heart of the DQ experience? They spend the day at one of our corporate-owned (Edina or Richfield, Minn.) DQ restaurants where they learn how to craft DQ treats, make DQ chicken strips and deliver exceptional guest experiences at the front counter. Last month Senior Human Resources Specialist, Molly H., had this opportunity and said: "Let me tell you, our iconic, trademarked DQ curl is NO joke to master. This Strawberry Sundae pictured was my proudest creation — after several failed attempts." P.S., Molly, we think your sundae looks great!

  "Forward Thinking" is one of our DQ values. So, we're always excited when we see other organizations recognizing our people for demonstrating it. Like earlier this month when Twin Cities Business Magazine highlighted General Counsel and EVP, Shelly O'Callaghan; EVP Marketing, U.S. and Canada, Maria Hokanson; and Assistant General Counsel and VP, Jen Beck as Notables in their respective categories. Congrats, Shelly, Maria and Jen on this recognition.
