Business Description

Step into a nationally recognized franchise with deep community roots and over 20 years of local brand loyalty. This treat-focused quick-service restaurant is located on a high-traffic highway 2 hours from the Twin Cities, drawing a balanced mix of local and highway customers. The business operates from a stand-alone building with excellent visibility, ample parking, and a newly remodeled interior (2024).

With over $51K in cash flow and additional real estate income, this turnkey operation is supported by a seasoned team of nine employees, including a long-tenured manager who oversees daily operations. The current owner is semi-absentee, making this an ideal opportunity for a semi-absentee operational leader or a hands-on entrepreneur ready to scale.

Utilizing ample indoor seating and a drive-thru, the business specializes in soft-serve desserts, cakes, and light hot food items, with soft-serve accounting for 78% of annual sales. Growth opportunities include implementing promotional campaigns, optimizing pricing, expanding local marketing, and enhancing drive-thru efficiency.

As the only Dairy Queen franchise within a 20-mile radius, this location holds a unique market position. No prior industry experience required—just strong leadership, decision-making skills, and a desire to grow a beloved brand.

Seller financing is available for qualified buyers.

Interested buyers should have $160,000 in available capital for the down payment.
