DQOA/DQOC - Dairy Queen Operators Association

Sandwich Wrap Supplier

As a reminder, the DQOC is pleased to announce that we have received final approval on Crown Select Sandwich Wraps and Basket Liner manufactured by Volflex, Inc. The wraps are currently available at most DQOC distributors. Please contact your distributor if you are interested in purchasing these new items. They are competitively priced and members will also earn a Dividend.

Discounted Treat Dish

In an effort to move through the remaining inventory of Crown Select Treat Dishes, DQOC distributors will be providing a 50% discount on plastic treat dishes while supplies last.

Banana Split Dish

There is limited supply of the Crown Select Banana Split Dishes at the distributor level. The DQOC is continuing to review supplier options and investment costs needed to produce the new DQ Ellipse Dish for our members.
