It might be how a young Andrew Carnegie started on the road to entrepreneurship -- minus the Blizzards, of course. One day earlier this year, three local Girl Scout troops toured the Dairy Queen at 1693 McFarland Road, in Mt. Lebanon, for a behind-the-scenes look at running a successful business.
They learned about food safety, product preparation, revenue, profit, overhead costs, ordering materials and more to help develop their entrepreneurial and leadership skills. At the conclusion, the girls made their own Blizzard -- ice cream with candy or fruit mixed in.
It was all part of the Second Annual DQ Girl Scout Appreciation Week, part of a two-month promotion with Dairy Queen. The partnership includes Girl Scout cookie-themed "Blizzard of the Month" selections for July and August.
Mt. Lebanon Dairy Queen owner Bob Rossi said it is also tied to the Children's Miracle Network which, on Aug. 13, will receive $2 from every Blizzard sold nationwide. Locally, the proceeds will go to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
