About Company:

Frick's Dairy Queen started in the spring of 1977 by Jim and Abbie Frick. Our original southside location in South Bend Indiana was a small walk up Dairy Queen. Severing all the DQ Classics like the Banana Split, Peanut Buster Parfait and the cone with a curl. Jim and Abbie always wanted their team and fans to feel part of the Frick family. Passing the business over to their children in the nineties, Jim and Abbie have left that family feel with the organization to this day. The 2000s brought the addition of other locations and more family members joining the company and are still focused on the great service our fans deserve.
