Q. Corp was founded in 1940 in Minneapolis, US. The company operates as a franchise of Dairy Queen, focusing on providing fast food and ice cream products. It has undergone strategic developments to expand its market reach.

The founder, Rizaldy Adriananda, has a history of involvement in the food service sector.

Dairy Queen is renowned for its core product offerings, which primarily consist of a variety of soft-serve ice cream treats, signature Blizzard desserts, and a selection of fast food items, including burgers, hot dogs, and chicken strips. The company focuses on delivering high-quality frozen treats that cater to a diverse clientele, ranging from families to individuals seeking a quick meal or dessert option.

Key to its product line is the Blizzard, a trademarked blended treat that combines soft-serve ice cream with various mix-ins, which has been a staple since its introduction. Dairy Queen products are available across North America, with significant market presence also in select international locations, including parts of Asia and Latin America. The brand aims to provide a quick-service experience that satisfies the cravings of its customers while delivering a sense of nostalgia and enjoyment. Dairy Queen generates revenue through a combination of direct-to-consumer sales at its franchise locations and partnerships with various retailers.

The typical transaction involves customers purchasing individual items such as ice cream cones or meals, often bundled in promotional value meals. Revenue streams are bolstered by seasonal promotions and limited-time offerings that entice repeat visits. Flagship products like the Blizzard and the GrillBurgers serve as key drivers of sales, appealing to a wide customer base. Dairy Queen operates primarily on a franchise model, where franchisees pay initial fees and ongoing royalties, contributing to the company's overall revenue structure.

These franchise agreements enable Dairy Queen to maintain brand consistency while allowing franchise owners to leverage local market dynamics effectively. D. Q. Corp plans to launch new products designed to enhance its menu offerings, with specific release dates yet to be announced.

The company is also targeting expansion into new markets, particularly in Asia and Latin America, by the end of 2024. The funding received from the investment in October 2013 will be utilized to support these growth initiatives and strengthen its operational capabilities.
