How Happy is the Meal You’re Paying For (Infographic)

I'll take a DQ Blizzard over that fro-yo garbage any day of the week.

I don't even know where a dairy queen is located.

There were virtually none of them in PA (at least that I saw) and we never ate at one the time we lived there. There are quite a few of them where I live now.

Even the Sabbath?

Especially on the Sabbath. What better way to pass the hour between Sacrament and Priesthood?

Take home point from this graphic:
McDonald's is much better at its jobs than parents are at theirs.

Winner, winner, chicken nugget dinner.

I've got my $9 a year at dq covered. Blizzards rock.

Not in Centerville. We know the owners of the Centerville DQ, and they have never been opened on Sunday (they are opened on Saturdays, so the sabbath comment doesn't apply if you are jewish or 7th Day Adventist).

They are remain one of the top earning DQ's in the country, despite being open one day less per week, and a bunch of growth in the area such as In n' Out. Most nights, their parking lot is full, and teh drive-up line is out of the parking lot.

There's a Dairy Queen near my house that combos with an Orange Julius (I brought a hot dog from who? George Drakoulias).

lol. I love these sorts of faith promoting stories. If my old EQP is to be believed, the highest grossing Wendy's in the entire country is located in Highland, UT...and is also closed on Sundays.

The story is a lose/lose. Either it is false (most likely) or it is true and the people of a relatively small place like centerville are incredibly fat.

Or they've learned how to eat fast food without breaking their diet. Simple substitutions can go a long way. Fries? Try subbing in a healthy garden fresh side salad or baked potato (skip the sour cream and butter!).

Those subs aren't going to bring in the revenue. We are talking about one of the highest grossing DQs in the entire country! And as anyone in retail knows, stores that are located in low density suburbs are always going to do better than stores that are located in high density areas. Especially when they are open one fewer day a week.

Thanks, Dayton.

You don't beleive something written on the internet by an anonymous poster? Shocking! Don't believe your EQP? Blasphemous!

Of course, any fact told 3rd person will be met with some amount of dubiousness.

I'm not implying that being closed Sunday's is the reason, just that they do very well despite the one day handicap.

The Centerville DQ is a huge tradition for a place to grab a meal or treat for large mormon families or contingencies:
For FHE
After a baseball/tee ball/soccer game
After a Young Mens/Young Womens activity
After Priesthood, Young Womens, or Relief Society general sessions

And yet they have no problem staying open late enough on Saturday that their employees are still working when the clock strikes Sunday. If they really wanted to prove the Lord, they should close at 10pm on Saturday.
