QSR Magazine: Dairy Queen's Annual Free Cone Day Taking Place March 20

QSR Magazine announced that Dairy Queen will celebrate their Fourth Annual Free Cone Day on March 20 to collect donations that will support local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Participants will receive a free small vanilla soft serve cone with the signature DQ curl on top.

“Silky smooth DQ soft serve is truly one of life’s simple pleasures. Our cone with the curl on top is one of the most recognized treats in the world and that signature curl is a DQ quality test we take tremendous pride in,” says Maria Hokanson, executive vice president of marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ). “There’s a reason DQ soft serve tastes so delicious and special. From cow to cone, dairy farmers and local operators take tremendous pride in bringing smiles to millions of fans’ faces through our creamy DQ soft serve.”

The day commemorates the first day of spring and continues the franchise's tradition of supporting the local community. Last year, Dairy Queen fans and franchisees contributed nearly $300,000 to local hospitals on this day.
