NH Dairy Queen ends 2022 as best-selling store in America
There are 4,353 Dairy Queens in America, but only one can finish 2022 as the top selling DQ in the country. And that place is in Manchester. The location on Second Street in Manchester ended up being the highest grossing store in all of America in 2022. Manchester had a $3,000 lead on the restaurant in Gray, Georgia as of Friday morning. Manchester has been in this fight before, finishing second in America last year, about $10,000 behind Medford, Massachusetts. The community has come here in huge numbers, said Manchester General Manager Kevin Dion. “My sales this week are through the roof.” Manchester had already reached the No. 1[ads1] spot for total ice cream sales in 2022, as it has done for three consecutive years. Gray, Georgia is #1 overall for breakfast and dining. sale. It came down to the final bell on New Year’s Eve to decide the winner.”Words can’t describe it,” Dion said. “I know this is just fast food. It’s just ice cream. It shouldn’t mean that much to me. But we’ve all put blood, sweat and tears into this place.” Dion and his team sprinted toward the finish line. Hundreds of blizzards were delivered to a nearby business Thursday. The restaurant partnered with animal protection to promote both causes. There were Door Dash campaigns and the social media push was on. Closing time could have helped. Gray, Georgia, closes at 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday, while Manchester is open until midnight. “The real reason is my dad,” Dion said. “My dad has put his life into this building. He’s owned it for 50 years. And instead of cashing out at 65, he went all-in on a rebuild, put me in charge of GM. I almost get tears in the eyes, to see everything happen in the end.”
