Fresno has just one <a href="http://dairyqueen.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-fresno-bee-dairy-queen-eyeing-fresno-area-for-additional-locations-4612" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dairy Queen</a> in Manchester Center. But the ones it wants to open are a lot different than the one in Manchester. The company is on an expansion kick with its DQ Grill &amp; Chill model. These restaurants have a new modern look with expanded menus. They still have the burgers and soft-serve cones that Dairy Queen is known for, but they also have what they call &#8220;DQ Bakes! artisan-style&#8221; sandwiches, including a chicken bruschetta sandwich served hot. DQ Bakes! also includes &#8220;snack melts&#8221; such as grilled chicken, buffalo sauce, cheddar and ranch dressing wrapped up in a tortilla. And there are hot desserts, such as a fudge-stuffed cookie served with vanilla soft serve and chocolate sauce drizzled on top. The restaurants are franchises, meaning someone must buy into the concept and pay a franchise fee, usually with a lot of other expenses. Dairy Queen&#8217;s required investment averages more than $1 million &#8211; not counting the cost of buying or renting land.
