The old rule of thumb in Texas was if your town had a population of at least 1000 you got a DQ.
But that was pre-Warren Buffet so not sure if its still true…

Yep, you knew you were in a small Texas town when the only restaurant was DQ… 😂

There was a time when having the DQ franchise rights of a large portion of TX was a license to print money. I met one of those franchise owners at a ski condominium in Red River NM back in the 80s who certainly had the vibe of money being no problem for him. This article makes me wonder whether that’s still true for him but it’s been enough years that the franchise area has changed hands multiple times.
