When and where was the first Dairy Queen open?

Answer 1

My father and his partner opened a Dairy Queen in Fremont, Nebraska in 1947. I know there were earlier stores and my father and his partner originally came from Moline, Illinois where he first got to know DQ. H.C. Duke and son were the engineers and producers of the DQ machine. Maybe they could provide more assistance to this question.

And yes my fathers store is still in operation in Fremont, there was even a man who sold the partners in Fremont paper cups or DQ cones, he later started a franchise of his own known as MacDonald's.
