## Story

Since he was a high school student, Dan Anderson has been loyal to the *Dairy Queen*® brand. From flipping burgers when he first started to owning his own locations, Anderson has seen all facets of what the brand has to offer.

“I started as a kid in Grade 9 . . . and I’ve never had another job,” he told The Chronicle Herald.

Now, Dan and his wife Martha's restaurant in Dartmouth is the chain’s top *DQ Grill & Chill*® location in Nova Scotia and the couple is building on that momentum.

According to The Chronicle Herald, they are the first *Dairy Queen* franchisees to get on board with *Dairy Queen* *Canada’s* plans to double the number of the chain’s restaurants in the Halifax area in the next several years.

Ontario-based *Dairy Queen Canada* has plans to increase its presence throughout the Atlantic Canada region in upcoming years.

“What we’d like to see in Atlantic Canada is 15-20 new locations in the next five years,” said *Dairy Queen Canada* director of franchise development Chris Falle.
