Welcome Home!

The Dairy Queen Operators Association and Cooperative is run by and for Dairy Queen franchisees.  The DQOA/DQOC is in its 40th year of service as the only independent voice for Dairy Queen Franchisees throughout the United States.  Your DQOA/DQOC membership is vital to your business success.  In addition to enhancing your bottom line, your Association continues to work as your advocate.  Members receive valuable information and insights that explain, in plain language, important current issues affecting Dairy Queen Franchisees.  Your Association is committed to constructively negotiating necessary changes with IDQ that will ensure a healthy and growing Dairy Queen system, more royalty income for IDQ, and a sound future for all Dairy Queen Franchisees.  Your membership support and involvement is essential to this effort.
