=== Dairy Queen has been around for more then 60 years. Dairy Queen's history is unique and very special to its founders. It all started on August 4, 1938, in Kankakee, Illinois. A father and his son had been experimenting with ice cream. They held a trial sale at a friend's (Sherb Noble where they sold there ice cream dessert for ten cents each. After two hours they sold over 1,600 serving. In 1941 when World War ll was just begining there were less then 10 Dairy Queen shops. After World War ll there were many more stores opening. There were 100 stores by 1947, 1,446 in 1950, and then by 1955 there were 2,600 stores. Today Dairy Queen is one of the largest fast food chains in the world. There are now over 5,900 Dairy Queen's in the United States, Canada, and 20 other countries. Though Dairy Queen has changed and expanded over the years they still have the same delicious ice cream that they've had since the day that they opened in 1940. ===
