Dairy Queen

Corporate team members traded laptops for hard hats earlier this month as part of our very first build day with Habitat for Humanity—our newest DQ Cares partner. Together, the team spent the day helping build a future home for a local family alongside the incredible crew from Habitat for Humanity. For many of our volunteers, it was a first-time experience on a build site. One of the best parts of the day was seeing how quickly everyone jumped in, learned new skills, and worked together to make a real impact in the community. We’re excited to continue building on this new partnership with Habitat for Humanity in the months ahead. Huge thanks to everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make the day such a success.

There’s a lot more behind the DQ® brand than what happens in the restaurants.

And right now, we’re growing. We’re currently hiring across several areas, including: • Information Technology • Marketing • Operations • Research & Development • Supply Chain If you’re looking for an opportunity to work with a collaborative team at a brand people know and love, we’d love to hear from you.

One of the most fun parts of our new partnership with the Savannah Bananas? You never know when they might show up at a DQ® restaurant! As part of our new partnership, the Bananas are making surprise stops at DQ locations across the country while traveling between games—bringing their signature energy, fun and a few flips along the way. Recently, members of the team stopped by a DQ restaurant to meet fans, enjoy a few treats and help us celebrate a partnership built around creating memorable moments for fans all summer long. We’re excited to team up with an organization that shares our love for fun, community and unforgettable fan experiences. And yes…there’s a pretty good chance this won’t be the last surprise stop. 👀

What happens when a room full of people rally around one mission? You get a night like the Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities Gala. Our team members were proud to attend and see firsthand the power of mentorship in action. By the end of the evening, the community had raised $537,854 to support local youth through life-changing mentorship programs. That’s the kind of impact that goes far beyond one night. And it’s why we’re proud to support organizations helping young people reach their full potential.

“What’s it really like to work at our Bloomington corporate office?” We get that question a lot. So instead of telling you…we thought we’d show you. Take a quick tour 👇

Did you know International Dairy Queen is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway? Last week, members of our corporate team were in Omaha for the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholder Meeting. So, we figured—why not test your DQ knowledge? 

The Dairy Queen team recently attended Elevate, an annual gathering of Children’s Miracle Network partners, hospitals and Champion Children from across North America. Connecting with these incredible kids and families, and hearing their stories firsthand, was a powerful reminder that the support raised in our restaurants is changing lives in the communities we serve. We’re proud to support Children’s Miracle Network the past 42 years and grateful to be part of a community dedicated to bringing care and hope to children and families.

The DQ logo has evolved over the last 85-plus years. But one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to creating positive memories for all who touch DQ. From our earliest mark in the 1940s to the bold red logo many of you grew up with to the modern look you see today, each version reflects a new chapter in our story while staying true to the same mission. More than 85 years later, the brand continues to grow, innovate and bring people together. Which version do you remember first?
