For 75 years, DQ® restaurants in Texas have been friendly, gathering spots where fans enjoy delicious treats and eats and create fond memories. And as DQ restaurants in Texas prepare to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime anniversary, they’re asking fans to share their favorite stories about their neighborhood “Texas Stop Sign.”

Fans can share their favorite stories and photos about any one of their neighborhood DQ locations in Texas by visiting dqtexas.com/anniversary. Whatever their story, DQ restaurants in Texas want to hear it.

  • Maybe it’s congratulating a student’s straight-A report card with a Peanut Buster® Parfait Royal Treat®. 
  • Calming first-date jitters with a Chocolate Dipped Cone
  • Quenching a road trip’s hunger pangs with a Hungr-Buster®,
  • Watching a toddler’s first encounter with the world-famous DQ® soft-serve, or
  • Celebrating a win after a high school football game by hoisting a Blizzard® Treat or two, upside down, of course. 

“DQ restaurants in Texas have been part of the fabric of the Lone Star State’s communities for 75 amazing years,” says Lou Romanus, CEO of the Texas Dairy Queen Operator’s Council. “Almost everyone I meet tells me about a particular memory they experienced at their favorite DQ restaurant in Texas. The anniversary of the DQ brand in Texas is a wonderful opportunity to share these stories with fans across the Texas.”

Drawing fans to DQ restaurants is the unique, Texas-centric hot-food menu featuring items which can’t be had anywhere outside of Texas, reflecting the Lone Star State’s grand spirit.  

There’s the Dude® CLASSIC Chick’n Fried Steak Sandwich and the aforementioned Hungr-Buster®, the BeltBuster® with two quarter-pound patties, and the truly awesome Triple-Buster® (with cheese, please). All are fan favorites. 

Let’s not forget the Texas T-Brand Tacos®, the Steak Finger Country Basket® with the best cream gravy anywhere and Chicken and Dumplings, based on a homemade recipe from a DQ restaurant franchise owner’s mom. 

But, let’s face it, the full DQ lineup of treats always been the sweetest of reasons to visit the restaurant with friends and family. What secrets were shared while dipping into a sundae or biting into a delicious Dilly® Bar? Did you choose a Dipped Cone or a Blizzard Treat? Whatever brought you to a DQ restaurant over the last 75 years, we want to know about your special moments with the people who made it even more extraordinary.

For generations, DQ restaurants are the places Texans go and they will be the first to say, “That’s what I like about Texas.”

A committee comprised of Park Place members from different dealerships across North Texas selected the non-profits out of more than 350 applications received. Under Park Place Cares, the company’s philanthropic arm, the company donated $100,000 to 24 charities that met the following criteria:

  • A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
  • Supports one of Park Place Cares’ Pillars of Giving, which include: Education; Medical; Advocacy; or the Arts
  • Serves at least one of the following counties: Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Ellis, Rockwall, Kaufman, Hunt or Johnson
  • The charity cannot have received donations or in-kind support from Park Place in 2021

“Selecting these non-profits was very challenging,” said Tony Carimi, managing director of Park Place Dealerships. “There are so many worthy non-profits doing admirable work in the areas we would like to impact. Our team had the difficult task of narrowing down the charities from 350 to 24 across North Texas to make the greatest impact during our Season of Giving.”
