DQ® in Central America

Central America is a growing market and DQ plans to continue to expand in the area. The growth of DQ wil pull from the successes we have had in Mexico, Panama, and the US. New stores will be focused on the development of the DQ and Orange Julius® concept as well as DQ Grill & Chill® concept!

DQ looks to 2005 for more active development of Central America. As our store counts grow around the world we have learned to look for four main charicteristics in our franchisees.

• Enthusiasm for the brand!
• Business experience in the market, preferably in food service, retail or hospitality.
• Capacity to support a multi-store system.
• Financial power and a long-term vision for continued growth in the future.
