What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 6 transfers of direct-licensed outlets from franchisees to new owners in Florida during 2024. This information is based on direct-licensed Dq Treat, Dairy Queen/Limited Brazier, and Dairy Queen soft-serve only locations. These figures do not include subfranchised outlets operating under agreements with territory operators.
For a prospective franchisee, this data indicates the level of franchise resales or transfers occurring within the Dq Treat system in Florida. A higher number of transfers could suggest a more active market for existing franchises, but it could also signal potential issues with franchisee profitability or satisfaction. It is important to investigate the reasons behind these transfers to understand the health and stability of Dq Treat franchises in Florida.
It is also important to note that the FDD includes a list of all operational direct-licensed and subfranchised DQ Treat stores and DQ soft-serve only franchises as of December 31, 2024, in Exhibit I. Exhibit J lists franchisees who have had their agreements terminated, canceled, or not renewed during the 2024 fiscal year. Reviewing these exhibits can provide additional context to the transfer data and the overall franchisee experience with Dq Treat.
Prospective franchisees should speak with current and former Dq Treat franchisees in Florida to gather more qualitative information about their experiences, potential challenges, and the transfer process. However, the FDD also notes that some current and former franchisees may have signed provisions restricting their ability to speak openly about their experiences with ADQ, which could limit the information available.
