best be they can, serving the community c sweet treats and warm meals. Dairy Queen Q always comes out with new and exciting products. produ The newest item to hit the stage sta is the Nestle Tollhouse and the Girl Scout Sc Thin Mint Blizzards. In the next month, they will be adding a Reese’s Blizzard to their menu. In addition to the ice cream treats, their hot food items, such as burgers, chicken strips, French fries, chili dogs, pretzel sticks and more, are popular items as well. Their two for $4 super snack all day every day promotion makes it easy for customers to enjoy a variety of items on their menu. Customers can choose from two-piece chicken strips, a small sundae, pretzel sticks, regular fries, cheeseburger or any size soda pop or slush. As the summer goes on, Hinnenkamp hopes more people will join the Dairy Queen employee family so that they can open their lobby and serve more customers. Support from family, friends and the community has been outstanding and is what has kept Hinnenkamp and her employees going. “I feel it is important to look past it (pandemic challenges) and focus on the positive,” Hinnenkamp said. “I am thankful for the staff I currently have. Here at the DQ we are like a family. I am thankful for all the customers that have supported us and understood the hardships we have faced. For the 10 years I have been in Albany, I have always felt like the community has been a huge support of their local businesses. I am extremely thankful to still have my doors open because I know other businesses are not as fortunate. Finally, I am thankful for my friends and family who provided me with support when I needed it the most.”

Like all businesses, the Dairy Queen in Albany has had to adapt and make the best out of a turbulent and uncertain situation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Many things have changed for business owners due to COVID-19. At first there was an extreme amount of uncertainty, certainty,” said Shayna Hinnenkamp, kamp, owner of Albany Dairy Queen. een. “The government wass shutting down businesses and we didn’t know whoo was next.” Fortunately for the he business, they were able ble to keep their drive-thru open for the majority of the time to serve customers. However, on the flip side, the lobby closed and remains closed until the business can hire enough staff to open it. “I have seen several Dairy Queens close their lobby, and worse yet, close their doors completely due to lack of help,” Hinnenkamp said. “We just don’t have the help for the demand. This is one of the reasons you see businesses cutting their hours or days per week.” The business is starting to grow their staff, Hinnenkamp said, but the challenge is getting all of the members trained in, something that can take several months. “I know it isn’t always easy working in a fast-paced environment,” Hinnenkamp said. “I am proud of my new hires that have stuck around. They are coming along great.” The third challenge the business faces is lack of product because all businesses are lacking the help they need to fill normal volumes, Hinnenkamp said. “Every week there is a different product that I can’t get due to shortages,” she said. “This problem p has also made inc all our cost of goods increase significantly as well.” Despite the challenges, challe Hinnenkamp and her employees continue con to do the
