What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dq Treat's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 2 transfers of direct-licensed outlets from franchisees to new owners in New Hampshire during 2022. This information pertains to DQ® Treat, Dairy Queen®/Limited Brazier®, and Dairy Queen® soft-serve only direct-licensed outlets.
Franchise transfers reflect existing Dq Treat locations changing ownership, rather than new stores opening. A high number of transfers could indicate a volatile market or challenges faced by existing franchisees. Conversely, a stable number of transfers might suggest a healthy franchise system with consistent business performance.
It is important to note that these figures do not include subfranchised outlets operating under agreements with territory operators or outlets for any other franchise programs. A prospective franchisee should investigate the reasons behind franchise transfers in specific states to assess the stability and potential risks associated with operating a Dq Treat franchise in that area.
