The Dairy Queen restaurant located in Bainbridge recently received a PRIDE (Personal Responsibility in Delivering Excellence) Award from the Dairy Queen system for achieving a high level of cleanliness and food safety. “I feel honored to have received such a prestigious award,” said owner Gary Phillips. “My staff and I work hard to keep our restaurant at a high level of cleanliness to ensure that we provide a safe and enjoyable environment for our customers.” This is the third year the award has been given to those stores that demonstrate PRIDE by maintaining the company standards. Last year, 15 percent of restaurants in the Dairy Queen/Orange Julius system received it.
