After nearly six years of litigation, a Georgia firm negotiated a $50 million class-action settlement between International Dairy Queen and one-third of the Dairy Queen franchises nationwide. The agreement requires the defendants to pay $30 million in advertising, $250,000 to each of the suit's five original plaintiffs and $11.3 million in legal fees. The franchisees claimed the defendants made it difficult, if not impossible, for stores to obtain supplies not sold by International Dairy Queen.
