DQ Grill & Chill® Expands Florida Footprint

Seasoned Restaurant Group Brings World-Leading QSR Concept To Fort Pierce

September 05, 2019 // Franchising.com // FORT PIERCE, Florida - Fort Pierce just got a whole lot sweeter.

American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ), franchisor of the timeless DQ® brand cherished for its classic delectable fare and frozen treats, recently announced its new DQ Grill & Chill® restaurant open in Fort Pierce. Conveniently situated at 2716 S. US HWY 1, the restaurant is owned by multi-brand operators, Goalz Restaurant Group.

Striking the perfect balance between yesterday and today, the DQ Grill & Chill® flagship concept modernizes guests’ dining experience by offering made-to-order lunch and dinner options, including GrillBurgers™, Chicken Strip Baskets and delicious hot sandwiches. DQ® fans can also enjoy soft-serve favorites such as cones, sundaes and the signature Blizzard® Treat.

A welcoming environment for all, each DQ Grill & Chill® location features a modern, open-air grill, separate “Grill” and “Chill” sections, comfortable booths, large wooden tables, warm lighting and upbeat music.

“From my first job out of high school at Dairy Queen®, I knew I admired their business model,” said Shawn Eby, founder and CEO of Goalz Restaurant Group. “Now with my own restaurant group, I’m drawn to the brand because of the strong feelings it evokes with their emphasis on tradition. Goalz is excited to open our second DQ Grill & Chill® location and 11th overall restaurant.”

Goalz has been an owner of DQ Grill & Chill® since 2018, with its first location in North Carolina. Goalz Restaurant Group was founded by Eby with the focus of helping others. Goalz is proud to stand behind their brands including Dog Haus, Church’s Chicken, Captain D’s and Dairy Queen®. In the next few years, the restaurant group is scheduled to open 265 restaurants across 9 states, including another DQ Grill & Chill® set to open October 2019 in Colorado.

“Goalz follows the business mantra of people who serve great food and Dairy Queen® is the perfect example of this, with dedication to tradition at each location,” added Eby. “The Fort Pierce community is the perfect place to bring that tradition, for locals to enjoy the DQ® experience.”

What began as the 10-cent sale of an unknown frozen treat in 1938 quickly boomed into one of the most well-known companies of all time. Maintaining its recipe for success throughout nearly 80 years, ADQ has more than 7,000 locations worldwide and is initiating a plan to add more than 70 new restaurants in the United States in 2019.
