Appearance:(Image)
Character State of Origin: Wisconsin
Character State of Residence: Wisconsin
Character Party Affiliation: Republican
Main Strengths:
-Name Recognition: He’s known for being the founder of a well-loved Wisconsin-based fast food chain called “Dairy Dan’s”. Expect lots of name recognition…and who doesn’t love ice cream?
-Strong Allies: He was considered an important ally to the campaign of Nate Richardson; Gundersen is particularly valuable as a fundraiser and has bankrolled numerous Wisconsin GOP state congressional campaigns, earning him allies within the state.
-Suburban Credentials: He is a suburban mayor, and generally is in tune with the issues that suburban Republicans care about.
-Navy Veteran: Before going into the restaurant business, he attended the US Naval Academy and reached the rank of captain before retiring from the military in 1992.
-Very healthy and fit for his age; looks a solid 5 years younger than he is.
-Ties to the Green Bay Packers football team give fans a positive impression of him.
-He’s good at gauging when to rein in his ambitions. He has overseen cutbacks both as a CEO and as a mayor and made sensible changes to policies that created long-term benefits.
Main Weaknesses:
-Quite short in stature. Frankly, the combination of his lack of height, his Wisconsinite midwestern accent, and his fast food claim to fame are distinctive, but also make for easy parody from late night shows.
-Unsurprisingly, Dairy Dan’s restaurants have a socially conservative charitable giving history not unlike that of Chick-Fil-A.
-Has a very open record of fighting minimum wage increases, and is generally seen as an opponent to organized labor.
-Circumstances of Naval Retirement: Gundersen retired from the US Navy as a commander, and was discharged honorably. He never saw actual combat in his 18 years in the Navy. However, he left the Navy mere days after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1992. He regrets his decision, personally viewing it as an act of cowardice, but not really talking about it with anyone.
-He is a strategic, mild-mannered military shipping manager at heart who isn’t really an ideas guy.
-He thrives off of fiscal talking points that basically amount to “run America like a successful business- efficient & profitable” and has written a book on efficiency in business supply chains; on the other hand, his projects as mayor are projected to drive the city to a deficit before his second term is completed. His business-style approach to government may also garner him the occasional accusation of being a technocrat.Daniel Anders Gundersen was born on December 31, 1956, into a family of Norwegian descent in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He had 6 older brothers. The Gundersen boys did everything as a family, especially playing football in the backyard and climbing into their family’s 1954 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon to go to Green Bay Packers games.
Their father Kristoffer, a former Naval Academy football team offensive lineman and decorated WWII veteran, encouraged his boys to play football and to join the Navy. As the Gundersen boys grew, 5 of them grew into the imposing figure of their father. But little Daniel was the runt of the litter (growing to a mere 5’2).
Daniel quickly learned even in elementary school that playing football wasn’t for him, but due to the influence of his brothers, he remained a passionate fan of the game, especially the Packers. After some reluctance, his father accepted that pushing his son into playing sports would likely lead to more hurt than enjoyment.
But in typical Gundersen family fashion, Kristoff still wanted to have a positive influence on his son’s path in life. Daniel was always very fascinated with his father’s war stories, as embellished as they were, and grew an interest in following in his father’s footsteps in the Navy.
As a teenager, Gundersen attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Newport, Rhode Island in 1968. Gundersen then entered the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in 1974.
He was commissioned as an ensign upon graduation in 1978, and due to his particularly stellar performance in his military strategy and management courses, was recommended to the Naval Postgraduate School’s Graduate School of Defense Management in Monterrey, California, where he received his M.S. in Operations and Logistics Management. Gundersen was then moved to the Navy Supply Corps in 1980, where he served in a material and operational logistics role and continued advancing in rank.

He later advanced into a Commander role at the Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group HQ in Virginia in 1990. He was on track to continue advancing rank and eventually oversee a large portion of the Navy’s supportive cargo operations. However, in 1992 upon Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, Gundersen chose to retire from the Navy; he credits this decision to his desire to have a family and more normalcy in life, but some speculate that he was concerned about the potential of a live combat conflict in the Persian Gulf and left to avoid being sent overseas.
He returned to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1992 and used his degree in Operations and Logistics Management to obtain a position as a Regional Logistics Manager for McDonald’s restaurants. Gundersen applied much of his military logistics knowledge, especially his expertise in Kaizen supply chain practices, to the distribution of food and supplies to the company’s franchises.
While working for McDonald’s, he met his future wife, Shawna Teller. The only problem was that she was his boss. As their relationship grew, Gundersen realized that if children of his own were coming along in the future, he would need to make more money.
Thus, he resigned from his position as a McDonald’s employee, and instead entered the company’s franchisee program, opening a new location on the east side of Waukesha, Wisconsin. Running his own restaurant was a new challenge for Gundersen, and his lack of trust in his employees resulted in him serving of the de facto manager of the location.
1996 was a big year of change for Gundersen. Disappointed with his franchise agreement, he sold his McDonald’s franchise and used the funds to (1) pay for his wedding to Shawna that summer and (2) buy a corner retail property in Waukesha where he opened the first Dairy Dan’s restaurant. With help from his brothers Olaf and Karl, he opened the first Dairy Dan’s on November 1st, 1996. Daniel’s first son Filip was born later that same month.
With its giant ice cream cone neon sign, its simple menu, and its signature “five creams,” the restaurant took off as an instant success. Gundersen’s background in supply chain management and implementation of Kaizen principles helped him keep costs as low as possible. Originally leaning on a traditional drive-thru model, Dairy Dan’s expanded throughout the greater Milwaukee area and had 10 locations by 2002.
In 2002, Dairy Dan’s underwent a slight rebranding, adding a cartoon mascot duo of mischievous child “Dairy Dan” and his ice cream-loving St. Bernard dog “Olaf.” The idea of transforming the likenesses of himself and his brother into cartoon characters to make the restaurant more “kid friendly” came from Dan Gundersen himself. It went something like this in the board room:
Advertising Consultant: “We’ve got to inject more personality into your brand and make it more family friendly.”
Daniel Gundersen: “Whose personality?”
Olaf Gundersen: “Dairy Dan’s.”
Daniel Gundersen: “And what is Dairy Dan’s personality like?”
Advertising Consultant: “Aren’t you Dairy Dan?”
Daniel, who had never thought of himself as “Dairy Dan,” had only chosen the name because he thought the alliteration had sounded good. But at that moment, he had the one big idea of his life that was truly original. He decided to just go with it.
Daniel Gundersen: “Yeah, I’m Dairy Dan. But I think that a middle-aged man is a bad mascot. Let’s make him a dog instead, or better yet, let’s make it a kid and a dog. That way, it looks like kids want to come here.”
And so, with the input of others and the help of a former Disney cartoonist, they created the Dairy Dan & Olaf mascots that are now a signature part of the company’s branding.
The restaurant also added “kid’s meals” at this time.
Business at Dairy Dan’s was booming, and Gundersen took a particularly aggressive approach to expansion statewide. Notably, a statewide television advertisement campaign accompanied the roll out of 20 more restaurants in Wisconsin in 2005. (This brought the restaurant to a total of 33 locations.) These ads appeared like movie trailers at first, but then would reveal themselves to be about the story of a ship full of Vikings on a journey to find the “Lost Lands of the Five Creams,” encouraging viewers to try out the “Five Creams” themselves at Dairy Dan’s. Most people from Wisconsin are familiar with these advertisements.
By 2008, Dairy Dan’s had 40 locations throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. After the real estate collapse of 2008, that number shrunk to 36 as it financially became necessary to reduce the number of stores.
In 2009, the company was starting to recover from the downsizing and Gundersen decided to try something new with the business. Seeing the success of “fast-casual” restaurants like Chipotle and Shake Shack, Dairy Dan’s began buying non-drive-thru, strip mall locations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. These locations were marketed more as a “premium” fast-casual burger restaurant like Shake Shack than a true fast food restaurant. However, Dairy Dan’s continued its drive-thru model throughout its Midwest locations.
Also in 2009, Gundersen successfully convinced the non-profit ownership group of the Green Bay Packers to choose his father Kristoff to their Board of Directors. In 2011, Gundersen’s father began exhibiting Alzheimer’s symptoms and Daniel took his place on the board.
In 2013, Dairy Dan’s ran another successful ad campaign, this time in all 16 states where they had restaurants. Playing into their “Five Creams” theme again, this ad featured hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan performing a remixed mashup of their song “C.R.E.A.M.” and group member Raekwon’s song “Ice Cream.” Also featuring guitarist Eric Clapton (of the band Cream), this jingle had re-written lyrics that were about the “Five Creams” that make up the flavors at Dairy Dan’s. Gundersen paid almost 4x the company’s yearly advertising budget to make and air the TV spot and radio jingle. The ad was a big success at first, aired all around the country, and sales went up big time.
But controversy was around the corner when a reporter uncovered that Dairy Dan’s was one of the largest donors to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an organization with anti-LGBTQ beliefs that Chick-Fil-A also came under fire for donating to. Several of Wu-Tang Clan’s members issued public statements denouncing Dairy Dan’s and regretting their participation in the ad campaign. Clapton refused to speak with the press when they asked him about his participation in the ad campaign.
While the rush of sales had slightly tapered due to the controversy, Gundersen saw this press attention as an opportunity to expand even further. New Dairy Dan’s drive-thru locations opened in New England, the Rockies, and the northwest.
But a second incident would cause Dairy Dan’s to make headlines again on November 1, 2013. In a cold fall snowstorm, customers lined up at the flagship Wausheka location at 10:00 am to try that year’s Holiday Cream specialty flavor, “Conifer Cream,” which was meant to be a sweet cream ice cream with “a unique hint of pine and cinnamon.” But the storm delayed the shipment from the distribution center, and impatient customers left the line while others braved the cold. But when the shipment arrived, it had not been previously taste-tested with the flavor extract that was used in the final product. The result was an ice cream that strongly tasted like tree sap and Big Red chewing gum and was poorly received. Other stores also began slowly selling their shipments of Conifer Cream, but Gundersen made the decision to simply pull the plug and replace the item with fan-favorite Pumpkin Cream from 2010 by mid-November.
This led to a protracted legal dispute between Dairy Dan’s corporate body and a group of its franchisees who had continued selling Conifer Cream (diluted to 1/4 strength with Wisconsin Cream) after a cease-and-desist from corporate’s attorneys. The national media began covering the case due to the publicity from the earlier controversy that year. The case reached the level notoriety of being parodied by Saturday Night Live, where guest host Tom Cruise portrayed a grown, chain-smoking Dairy Dan speaking in a strong Wisconsin accent who goes to a fast food restaurant and begins testing the ice cream and chastising the workers. Gundersen considered sending a cease-and-desist to SNL and potentially sue for what he considered to be a defamatory portrayal of himself, but his attorney quickly cited the Hustler v. Falwell case as proof that he wouldn’t have a claim. So instead he issued a statement that said, "while some might find Cruise's depiction of me to be funny, I don't think it's at all accurate in its portrayal of the family image cultivated by the Dairy Dan's brand."
At the opening of their first-ever Boston location in January 2014, Gundersen personally handed out over 5,000 scoops of free Boston Cream ice cream, wearing a name tag that said “Dairy Dan,” which at the time was a joke. He had never actually used the company name as a nickname. But the Boston Globe ran a second-page article about the event that said “Dairy Dan Feeds Thousands at Opening.” Daniel had a realization; his business had benefitted from his likeness, but maybe it was time for him to benefit from his business’s likeness.
After the 2013 scandal, Gundersen pulled the company’s donations from controversial groups and instead met for a new investment opportunity with several of his fellow Green Bay Packers corporation board members and other interested parties he had met through his older brother Jakob who had played in the NFL.
The idea was hatched (not by Daniel, actually by his aging father Kristoffer) to create the Dairyland All-Star Football League sponsored by Dairy Dan’s. It is a 5-week summer league for elite 17-20 year old football players who have not been signed to a college football program. The league is considered an amateur league so players can maintain their eligibility. Typically, the players are either (a) from small rural high schools or Christian schools nationwide that don’t receive much recruiting attention, (b) high school players from Canada, (c) Wisconsin junior college players, or (d) former high school players enrolled in a college but not participating in a football program and looking for a second chance to play. Games are held in Milwaukee and Waukesha, with the championship held at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The inaugural 2014 season resulted in several students being recruited to D1 schools, and the next year, ESPN picked up the games to help fill in some of their late-summer empty slots for sports.
In 2016, in preparation for the announcement of Dairy Dan’s becoming the official concessions sponsor of the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers, Gundersen quietly stepped down from his board positions with the Packers ownership group and the amateur football league.
As his Dairy Dan’s had grown in the prior several years, Daniel had taken a more hands-off approach, focusing on the football-related ventures and speaking at conferences on management, logistics, the restaurant business, and corporate efficiency.
But after quitting the football positions and having delegated away all of his Dairy Dan’s responsibilities, he was bored. He considered returning to the Naval Postgraduate School, getting his PhD, and relocating his life to the West Coast to teach there. But they wouldn’t have him, due to him being “too far removed from service.” So, not interested in typical retired life, he came up with another way to spend his time and money.
Gundersen intentionally had it leaked to the press that he was considering a run for Mayor of Waukesha as a Republican, just to test the waters. Weeks later, a local committee of businesspeople approached Gundersen with the offer of campaign donations should he run.
Gundersen was sitting on a lot of cash, having structured an early retirement from Dairy Dan’s. He announced his campaign and formally resigned, being given the honorary position of President Emeritus. With the donations from community business leaders and that cash, he was able to fund a high-powered mayoral campaign, beating a labor organizer Democratic candidate to win. Additionally, the momentum from Arnold Wolf’s concurrent presidential campaign certainly helped Gundersen as Republican turnout locally was high. Gundersen tapped into the need to drive new job growth and revive the local economy for the people who already lived there rather than just growing population; both of these ideas resonated with a populist Wolf voter base.

As mayor, Gundersen was successful in rallying small business opposition against a county-wide minimum wage increase. He cut spending and waste in the city government; specifically, he abolished several city health services cost the city a great deal and had minimum usage. He enacted zoning reforms. He started a project called the Zero Pothole Initiative, where he oversaw the complete restoration of Waukesha’s streets. He also spearheaded negotiations with private companies and Milwaukee’s transit bureau to collaborate on the creation of a light rail service from downtown Milwaukee to downtown Waukesha, cutting the previous transit time from 50 minutes on a bus to 19 minutes on a train. Citywide taxes were not decreased and in fact will need to be increased by 2022 to keep the city out of a deficit. But the spending was in smart enough areas to attract new development and generate economic revival in Waukesha. Also while he was mayor, he and his family began to actively support GOP candidates for the state legislature.
In 2018, Gundersen secured a deal with a major publishing company to release a book he had long been working on titled “Total Efficiency.” (More info below). The book made the New York Times Bestseller List but was never #1.
When Nate Richardson came to Wisconsin in 2020 to campaign in the GOP primary, Gundersen met with him and began to re-align himself from being a Wolf Republican to a Richardson Republican. He donated the maximum that he legally could to Richardson and his respective PACs. Throughout the primary and the general, Gundersen used his platform and social media profiles to promote Richardson’s candidacy. He also was running his own re-election campaign at this time, resulted in a win due to his popularity in the community and his incumbent advantage.
Gundersen is preparing to announce his campaign in the Special Election for US Senate. He plans to campaign on his business acumen, his experience as a veteran and CEO, his suburb-friendly lite-Wolfist platform, and his die-hard Richardson support. He also made comments during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that earned him the likely support of Wisconsin’s police unions.

Only American-made food products are sold in Dairy Dan’s restaurants. All ice cream and cheese sold at Dairy Dan’s comes from Wisconsin (except in their Alaska and Hawaii locations, where ingredients are locally grown by a subsidiary of Dairy Dan’s to cut costs).
“The Five Creams”- Dairy Dan’s is known for its “Five Creams,” flavors which are served in three styles of ice cream, soft-serve, traditional scoops, and as bases for milkshakes. The “five creams” are Wisconsin Cream (vanilla sweet cream with a hint of cheesecake), Boston Cream (chocolate & custard), Florida Cream (orange creamsicle), Oahu Cream (pineapple, similar to Dole whip), and Nordic Cream (supposedly lingonberry, tastes like Swedish Fish candy with a bit of vanilla). There is always also a yearly “Christmas Cream” at Dairy Dan’s debuting each November 1st and staying on menus until New Year’s Eve. It is a different flavor each year; past holiday flavors include candy cane, pumpkin spice, sugar cookie, cranberry sauce, etc. Many Wisconsinites line up to try the “Holiday Cream” each year, and they’ve only once been let down (by 2013’s poorly-received “Conifer Cream”).
Food Menu- Dairy Dan’s is also known for its cheeseburgers. The burgers are made smashburger style, with the classic cheeseburger toppings of chopped onions, American cheese, ketchup, mustard and pickles. Order it “Dan’s Way,” and you instead get Thousand Island-like special sauce, light relish, grilled onions, a mild cheddar cheese, and extra pickles. Order it “Olaf Style” and you instead get grilled mushrooms, swiss cheese, and grilled onions, with a hot mustard-based sauce. You also have the option to add bacon or lettuce to any burger or to “Double Up” by adding an extra patty of Dairy Dan’s famous American-raised beef. Order a combo, and you’ll get a side of thin and crispy french fries and either a cold drink or one of Dairy Dan’s signature ice cream treats. Dairy Dan’s expanded its menu to breakfast in 2018.
Real Estate- Like McDonald’s, Dairy Dan’s is the direct owner or lessor of the real estate where a Dairy Dan’s franchise exists, rather than following the traditional franchisee model of having individual franchise owners buy the property. As such, Dairy Dan’s is a significant landowner within the state of Wisconsin and to a lesser extent throughout the US.
Other Dairy Dan’s Corporation Ventures- Starting in 2019, Dairy Dan’s, Inc. began purchasing former Denny’s and IHOP locations in suburban Wisconsin; they converted these into “Neon Diners”, which feature an expanded version of Dairy Dan’s menu along with traditional diner meals. The “Neon Diners” project is spearheaded by Dan’s 25-year-old son, and features a neon/cyberpunk aesthetic theme.
-Like Koch Industries or Mars, Inc., Dairy Dan’s, Inc. is a privately-held corporation and is not listed on any stock exchange. Also, the corporate board at Dairy Dan’s is structured in such a way that 6 of the 10 seats of the board must be held by Gundersen family members or their heirs, while 4 of the 10 positions must be held by nominees chosen by a majority vote by the franchisees who have achieved the certification of Executive Franchise Officer.
-Gundersen has a unique theory of business that he applied to Dairy Dan’s. According to Gundersen, Dairy Dan’s has less food waste per restaurant than any other national fast food chain and spends less on shipping its food despite owning its own shipping division. Daniel Gundersen’s book “Total Efficiency” was one of the hot books among management and leadership gurus in 2018. In his book, Gundersen espoused his theory of applying Japanese management principles like System Kaizen and The Toyota Way and naval supply chain strategies to numerous business scenarios to increase efficiency and productivity and decrease waste. The result of this theory in action can be seen in the structure of the Dairy Dan’s company, as indicated in the section “Restaurants”. He devoted a chapter of this book to a more conceptual theory of what it would look like to apply his ideas of absolute waste reduction and logistical self-sufficiency to a government.
-The principles of his book “Total Efficiency” are reflected in the structure of the company.
For example:
-the values, strategy, and philosophy are strictly mandated by the corporate leadership of the company, which is constantly looking for small ways to strengthen each of these aspects.
-promotions to higher positions in the company are often contingent on making provable above-and-beyond effort to reduce waste and increase efficiency in your individual and collaborative roles.
-the company owns its own transportation division with a fleet of trucks and operates on a tight supply schedule where lateness is heavily punished and consistent on-time drivers receive bonuses
-the company “ranks” its franchisees and employees in a manner that merges the hierarchy of the Navy with the conceptual standards of the “stack ranking” systems used by Fortune 500 companies.
-the company has adapted the concept of “enlisted” versus “commissioned” soldiers to its franchisees; if they go through a training program and get more deeply immersed in the corporate culture, franchisees receive the title of “Executive Franchise Officer” within the company and eventually can be nominated by the whole of the franchisees to serve in one of the four board of directors slots set aside for franchisees.
-Dairy Dan’s gives back to the Wausheka community in a big way. Donations to community parks, libraries, etc. by multiple members of the Gundersen family have gone a long way in helping Wausheka recover from the housing crash.
-Dairy Dan's prints a bible verse in small print on the bottom of their drink cups, an idea blatantly ripped off from California's In-N-Out Burger.
