Top dairy companies in europe?

"Sherb's" was the name of a small ice cream store that opened on South West Avenue, in Kankakee, Illinois on August 4, 1938. The proprietor of the store, thirty-year-old Sherwood Dick “Sherb” Noble, a native of Clemons, Iowa, had been associated with dairy products from his teen-age years. What his customers were offered that day in Kankakee for 10¢ was a new semi-frozen, "soft serve" dairy product formulated by a recent acquaintance and new business partner, J. F. McCullough. The Dairy Queen companies and franchises recognized Sherb Noble as the “original Dairy Queen operator.” Another early Dairy Queen operator was Bud Bergstrom, who operated Dairy Queen #7 in Springfield, Missouri (His daughter, Julie and her husband Les, operate it today), and they've recently celebrated their 60th anniversary with the DQ system, making them the longest running Dairy Queen still under the same ownership. This particular DQ spawned the career of former US Attorney General John Ashcroft.
