Does anyone know the why and when for the difference between corporate Dairy Queen and the Texas Dairy Queens?

Is the Bob Greene mentioned here really the same Bob Greene who was a columnist for the Chicago Tribune? If not, we need to disambiguate. Anthropos 07:17, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

They're the same; see the interview at [1] for instance. Stan 14:34, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Competition

When one writes an article on a business how does one miss the company's largest competitors? Seriously, no where does this mention Culver's or Sonic as a competitor, they're foremost on IDQ's mind and the best this article has is Tastee Freez? And since when has Tastee Freez been relevant? If you want past competitors look at Baskin Robins. It's like writing up McDonald's but forgetting to mention Burger King! Also, there are alot of specialty shops like Cold Stone Creamery that are out there, perhaps mentioning them is a good idea since DQ is a sort of touch stone for the frozen treat "industry".


My town has a Dairy King and a Dari Dip. Actually, I'm surprised we don't have a DQ... PrometheusX303 01:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


I think that paragraph was a bit confusing. We should either remove the 'competitors' that serve hard ice cream (rather than soft serve) or remove the blurb about other establishments serving soft serve. My first thought was 'wait a minute, baskin-robbins doesn't have soft serve...'

Not to press a point to much but Sonic drive in has gotta be one of the most direct competitors to DQ I have ever seen. They sell the same fare as far as food goes and they have a copy of many dq treats. They are nearly identical to the Brazier DQ's aside from the lesser quallity. They directly compete with food items. When one comes out with something the other copies it to the "T". --MJHankel 20:57, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Queen Latifah?!?!?

This is absurd to merge Dairy Queen with Queen Latifah. I will be reverting the edits made by User:Renegadewarrior in a couple of minutes, and then going over to Queen Latifah and rev'ing those, too. munboy 01:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CAKES

Dairy Queen and their frozen cakes should be mention. They without bragging make the best frozen decorated cake in North America. Dairy Queen should advertise more about there cakes its a market that could double there sales.

Pure opinion. Dappled Sage 23:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

It's been suggested that the articles on Brazier (burger) and Peanut Buster Parfait be moved here.

[edit] Headquarters is definitely in Edina

The corporation certainly thinks so, see here. The city of Edina thinks so as well - the location is in grid E8 of the official city map of Edina. (NOTE - size of linked pdf file is 5.4 MB) Tim Shuba 04:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Tim Shuba. Sorry I looked at the bottom of the pages on dairyqueen.com that all say "Mpls. MN". Your link is much better. Thank you! -Susanlesch 15:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
