Profitable CT. Dairy Queen Franchise – Consistent Sales Yr. over Yr. & forecasted for 2026 $1.8M – 2 Hrs. North of NYC
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Established Dairy Queen® Franchise For Sale Turnkey, Cash-Flowing Quick-Service Restaurant — Fully Built-Out Location & Lease Included. This is an established, fully operational Dairy Queen® franchise with a strong sales base and experienced management already in place. The business has a well-seasoned General Manager who has been with the location for six years, providing continuity and day-to-day operational experience for a new owner. The existing management structure and staff allow a buyer to step into an operating business without having to build a management team from scratch. The sales mix is also well balanced, with approximately 50% of sales coming from food and 50% from ice cream, providing a diversified revenue stream beyond ice cream sales alone. This is an opportunity to acquire an established Dairy Queen® franchise with an operating history, established customer base, experienced management and fully completed restaurant infrastructure already in place. Dairy Queen does not require franchisees to have personal restaurant experience, but does expect a qualified operating partner with QSR/drive-thru experience and a strong management team. This can make the opportunity suitable for an investor or business owner looking to acquire an established quick-service restaurant operation. The location also benefits from an experienced General Manager who has been with the business for six years, helping provide operational continuity following a change in ownership. Franchisor approval of the buyer and transfer is required as part of any transaction, and the buyer is responsible for the franchisor's transfer fee.
