To Our Valued Customers,
After 18 wonderful years, the time has come for me to say goodbye as the owner of Dairy Queen in Tom’s River.
I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for your support, loyalty, and friendship throughout the years. What began as a business became so much more because of the incredible people who walked through our doors every day. We have had the privilege of celebrating birthdays, graduations, first jobs, family traditions, and countless special moments with you.
Tom’s River has been an amazing community to be a part of, and I am grateful for the trust and support you have shown us over the years. Many of our customers became friends, and many of the young people who worked here over the years took their very first job behind our counter. Watching hundreds of employees grow, gain confidence, learn responsibility, and move on to successful careers has been one of the most rewarding parts of owning this business.
I would also like to thank all of the employees, past and present, who helped make this store what it is today. Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving our customers have been the foundation of our success.
While it is bittersweet to move on to the next chapter, I do so with a full heart and deep appreciation for everyone who helped make these 18 years so memorable.
Thank you for allowing me and my team to serve the Tom’s River community. It has truly been an honor and a privilege. The memories, friendships, and experiences we have shared will stay with me forever. The new owners are keeping it a DQ and I know you will treat them like you have treated me and my staff over the years!!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Steve Jackey
Owner
Dairy Queen, Tom’s River@
