## Story

American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ), the legacy brand beloved for its mouthwatering meals and tasty treats, recently announced plans to bring a second DQ Grill & Chill® restaurant to San Bernardino. Set to open December 22 for drive-thru orders, the restaurant will be located at 2238 N Arden Ave.

The forthcoming DQ Grill & Chill® location features a modern look and feel, comfortable booths, large wooden tables, warm lighting and upbeat music. The location will be locally owned and operated by December Herrera, who started her journey with DQ® at the age of 15 and is now transitioning into the role of owner with her first location in San Bernardino.

“After being with Dairy Queen® for so long, I truly see the family aspect of the brand,” said Herrera. “From the moment I started working at my local DQ® for my first job, I knew I wanted to one day become a franchisee because of the emphasis placed on creating pure joy for customers across the board. I’m beyond excited to open my first restaurant in my hometown of San Bernardino, as it will be the perfect community to launch my ownership.”

Herrera will manage day-to-day operations at the DQ Grill & Chill® in San Bernardino alongside her management team. She has plans to continue growing with the brand and to build more restaurants in the future.
