DAIRY QUEEN OPENS ITS FIRST HOT FOOD RESTAURANT IN ASIA In a move to cater to its “treat fanatics” customers in Asia, Dairy Queen has opened its first hot food restaurant concept in China. The launch of the opening of DQ Blizzard & Burgers in Shanghai is the first of its kind in Asia. The restaurant menu is comprised of five signature burgers, chicken, fries and onion rings, beverages, and a full treat menu that includes the iconic DQ Blizzard Treat. “During the past 20 years, we have turned Chinese consumers into DQ treat fanatics,” said Alan Hsu, CEO, CFB Group. “We are pleased to expand our business by now offering hot meals, including burgers, that Chinese customers crave. Our goal is to position DQ restaurants as the balanced food and treat leader in China.” By the end of September, the company plans to open two more locations in Shanghai and is committed to opening 180 locations by 2034.

MEALS ON WHEELS AMERICA PARTNERS WITH DOORDASH TO SUPPORT DELIVERY EFFORT Volunteer drivers make up the vast majority of the delivery workforce for the more than 5,000 local Meals on Wheels programs operating across the US. However, with volunteering at its lowest level in three decades and most programs reporting significant challenges with recruiting and retaining volunteers, the delivery company’s Project Dash has been a powerful solution to help break down barriers to food access and ensure local programs have a cost-effective, convenient delivery alternative when typical delivery methods aren’t possible. DoorDash and Meals on Wheels America have already launched free Project Dash pilots for more than 30 local programs to make 250-500 deliveries this year. “DoorDash has been like a best friend that you can always call,” said Amanda Fowler, assistant director, LaPorte County Meals on Wheels in Michigan City, Indiana. “When a volunteer has been unable to deliver due to illness, etc., they have been right there to help ensure that everyone gets fed. When we need to deliver extra meals for a holiday, DoorDash is right there to help. This partnership has allowed us to seamlessly and efficiently deliver meals and ensure food quality and safety.”
