Dairy Queen
is one of the largest fast food systems in the world with more than 5,900 restaurants in the United States, Canada and 20 foreign countries.
Although much has changed in the world and in the "Dairy Queen" system through the years, one constant has remained: "Dairy Queen" stores are still, and always have been, the place to find Little League teams celebrating a victory, business people on their lunch break and families taking time out to enjoy great food and soft serve treats. And, success for the "Dairy Queen" system is as simple today as it was in 1940. Satisfied customers lead to successful restaurants. Each owner of our independently owned and operated establishments worldwide are committed to nothing less than the slogan "We Treat You Right."

Ice Cream.
Ben and Jerry's contracts with Dreyer's to distribute its ice cream to supermarkets.
But Ben and Jerry's competes directly with
Haagen-Daz and Nestle already owns that brand.

Rep. Bernie Sanders asked processors and supermarkets Monday
to explain why milk gallons at the grocery store do not seem to be costing less even though farmers' checks have dropped by more than a third in the last year.
Processors and supermarkets blamed each other as well as market factors, and argued that the milk price on grocery shelves has been going down. ... Last November, the average retail price of a gallon of milk was .19 in the Burlington area. That dropped to .08 a gallon in July, according to a survey done by a national group of state agriculture departments. Farmers are receiving 44 cents less per gallon.
Sanders said part of the problem is a market controlled by only a few players. Sanders said he would push the federal government to crack down on what he called the monopoly of Dean Foods, which now controls about 75 percent of the milk market in New England.
Rockin' New Flavor at Ben & Jerry's
Vermont's most famous ice cream company has taken a cue from the pop music world.
Ben & Jerry's has announced a new flavor called "One Sweet Whirled," a play on a Dave Matthews Band song of the same name. The flavor is a blend of caramel and coffee ice creams, and includes marshmallow swirl and coffee-flavored fudge chips.
Portions of the proceeds will benefit the popular rock band's charity and a global warming initiatives group. The ice cream makers hope their "duet" with the band will urge customers to do their best to fight global warming.
The new flavor is available in most "scoop shops" now, and will be on grocery store shelves in February. -- end --
The state Health Department inspection program rates restaurants
on 44 measures of food handling and housekeeping. The department has put extra emphasis on 13 of the measures....These "critical" items must be corrected during the time of inspection.... Points are subtracted from a score of 100 for each failing noted by the inspector..... A restaurant must score above 70 and have all critical items corrected or the establishment will be asked to close. The Burlington Free Press keeps a running list of the most recent score for all restaurants, listed by town (or for all towns in Vermont).
