Your first problem is that Dairy Queen is not ice cream. It's ice milk. Or,
more commonly, soft-serve. Much lower butterfat content. In fact, as a
matter of corporate culture, it's referred to as "DQ", as in vanilla DQ and
chocolate DQ.
Secondly, that must be the franchise owner's choice. DQ most definitely
offers chocolate. I managed two of them for years, so I know.
