Warren Buffet, the world's greatest investor, knows a great opportunity when he sees it. In 1998, Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway purchased the Dairy Queen concept. International Dairy Queen (IDQ) has been supplying brainfreezes for more than 60 years. The company is a leading franchiser of frozen treat stores, with more than 5,700 Dairy Queen quick-service restaurants popular for their ice cream treats, including Blizzards, sundaes, and cones. Many of the stores also serve burgers, fries, hot dogs, and other sandwich items.
Franchisee is a multi-unit operator of Dairy Queen with over 25 years of restaurant ownership and management experience. In addition to being a franchisee, the operator has had executive-level experience as VP of Operations for multiple regional restaurant concepts, overseeing as many as 235 stores at once during his career.
