DAIRY QUEEN franchise in Idaho: what the public record shows
Franchisees of DAIRY QUEEN in Idaho have taken 15 SBA loans since 1991 (average $907,560)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 9.4% is the better guide.
