Established for over 15 years and with a long track record of profitability and steady growth, this independently owned Dairy Queen represents an attractive, lower-risk investment. Priced well below the establishment cost of a new Dairy Queen, the business offers the advantages of a proven traffic patterns and a well-established customer base.

Dairy Queen is one of the largest and most successful franchises in the world, with over 5,500 restaurants. Known initially for its soft serve ice cream and more recently for its popular ‘blizzard’ line of ice cream with candy bits and full line of lunch and premium ice cream offerings, ‘DQ’ has been a family favorite for over 60 years and still enjoys wide name recognition and a loyal following.

This particular store offers its new owner a significant investment upside, as its immediate market area is experiencing many positive redevelopment efforts. A nearby military installation is undergoing aggressive capital and personnel expansion.

Year Established: 1997

Employees: 5 full time - 5 part time

Facilities: Located in a strip retail center. The location is directly outside the main gate of military installation. Everyone entering or leaving the main entrance to travels directly in front of the store. As such it is very popular with military personnel and their families. The current lease calls for base monthly rent charges of $2,000 per month, plus ‘triple net’ (common area maintenance, property insurance and property taxes) of about $1,050 per month. To upgrade the store would require a capital investment of roughly $50,000 - $70,000 (much less if an owner would undertake some of the work on his / her own) and would need to be completed sometime in 2009. Revenue increases of $100,000 or more are not uncommon with such a remodel / upgrade.

Market Outlook and Competition: Many ways to grow. Upgrade facility is the most promising

Management Training and Support: owner would train

Reason For Selling: relocation
