\u201cSometimes being unqualified is the best qualification,\u201d Rogers said, acknowledging that he had never owned a quick-service restaurant industry.<\/p>\n

The Dairy Queen, built in 1960, has been a staple of Jacksonville Beach for 65 years, serving as a family-friendly, affordable place for locals to gather.<\/p>\n

Rogers aims to enhance digital engagement through the DQ app and focus on signature ice cream cakes as a celebration centerpiece.<\/p>\n

The store plans to embrace Dairy Queen\u2019s fun, trend-driven menu, highlighted by the recent popularity of items like the Crunchin\u2019 Cookie Dipped Cone and the Oreo \u00d7 Reese\u2019s Blizzard\u00ae.<\/p>\n
