BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Nobody does Ice Cream like Dairy Queen®!

Exceptional opportunity: a well-established Dairy Queen® franchise located in one of the busiest shopping centers in Kailua-Kona, just steps from the beautiful Pacific Ocean. This impeccably maintained location has received the prestigious DQ® Pride Award every year and underwent a complete remodel just four years ago. The store features like-new fixtures, furniture, and equipment. Gross sales have consistently increased year-over-year and are projected to surpass $1 million in 2024.

Situated among major retailers like Petco, Office Max, Old Navy, Ross, Skechers, Bath & Body Works, Panda Express, and Genki Sushi, this location benefits from excellent foot traffic throughout the day and evening. It is also adjacent to the only Target on the west side of the island, further enhancing its prime location.

Are you an entrepreneurial leader seeking to manage an experienced team of dedicated employees while enjoying the relaxed island lifestyle of Hawaii? This Dairy Queen® franchise could be the ideal investment for you. With over 7,500 locations worldwide, Dairy Queen® is a beloved brand with a loyal customer base.

This opportunity has already been pre-qualified by an SBA lending expert who can assist you with the SBA 7(a) loan application. Reach out to us to begin the journey toward owning a DQ Grill & Chill® franchise.

If you’re ready to explore becoming a Dairy Queen® franchisee, here’s what you can expect from the pre-approval process:
1. Financial review, cash verification, and background checks
2. Field meeting/s with our Listing Agent
3. Interview/s with Seller
4. Application process and review by the Franchise Development Committee

• Partial Seller financing offered with a reasonable down payment on a case-by-case basis, at the Seller’s sole discretion. "Reasonable" dollar amount will be determined based on each individual/s merits, credit worthiness, industry experience, and character.

• Upon signing an NDA and completing a superficial Buyer Profile, a complete list of Assets included with the sale will be made available. Full books, records, and audited financials are on-file at our office and will promptly be delivered to Buyer during the Due Diligence period, after there has been an accepted offer (or during an in-person visit showing good faith as being a willing Buyer). We apologize in advance but due to the sensitive and proprietary nature of the information that will be provided, no exceptions will be made.

Facilities
‘Immaculate’ 1200 sq. ft. located in a busy retail shopping center with easy access and ample free parking. There are also many other complimentary well-known businesses surrounding them which support strong foot traffic for all tenants. Buyer will have the contingent right to seek written approval from Landlord that the existing lease is assignable, assumable, transferable, or negotiable at the same or acceptable terms.
Competition
This store is the ONLY Dairy Queen® in Kailua-Kona! Due to its strong brand identity with a presence of over 4.000 domestic locations (more than 7,500 worldwide), there is NO competition for Soft Serve ice cream treats, the unique Orange Julius® drinks, and in-store made custom ice cream cakes in the area. The prime location attracts an equal mix of regular local customers & tourists alike.
Growth & Expansion
Delivery, mobile, & on-line orders could be enhanced further by increasing the use of social media. Corporate Dairy Queen® is encouraging stores to push the DQ® App., as App orders tend to have higher ticket values. Again, social media can be used to promote this.
Financing
Partial Seller financing offered with a reasonable down payment.
Support & Training
To ensure the new owners continued success, the Sellers will provide/include up to 30 days training (and assistance) to cover all aspects of the business’s operational policies & procedures. This includes support for any future unforeseen equipment issues. Includes Dairy Queen® franchise support (supply chain, development, operations, marketing, and training).
Reason for Selling
The owners are retiring after 12 successful years of ownership.
