There are 4,353 Dairy Queens in America, but only one can finish 2022 as the best-selling DQ in the country. And that location is in Manchester. The location on Second Street in Manchester completed 2022 as the highest-paid store in all of America. Manchester was $3,000 ahead at the restaurant in Gray, Georgia as of Friday morning. Manchester has been in the fray before, finishing second in the US last year, nearly $10,000 behind Medford, Massachusetts. “The community has come here in large numbers,” said Kevin Dion, managing director of Manchester. “My sales this week have skyrocketed.” Manchester had already clinched #1. Number 1 in total ice cream sales in 2022, as it has been for three consecutive years. Gray, Georgia, #1. 1st Dion overall for breakfast and general food sales, it went down to the final bell on New Year’s Eve to determine the winner. “Words cannot describe it,” he said. “I know it’s just fast food. It’s just ice cream. It shouldn’t matter that much to me. But we’ve all put our blood, sweat and tears in here.” Dion and his crew were running towards the finish. Hundreds of Blizzards were delivered to a nearby business on Thursday. The restaurant has partnered with animal shelters to support both goals. There were Door Dash promotions and the social media pressure was on. Closing time could have helped. Gray, Georgia closes at 9 PM on Friday and Saturday, while Manchester is open until midnight. “The main reason is for my father,” Dion said. “My father gave his life to this building. He’s owned it for 50 years. And instead of cashing it at 65, it went through a complete remodel, hired me as GM. I’m almost teary-eyed to see that it’s all over.”
