Most common ice cream stores in Metro Detroit

Dairy Queen is the most common ice cream chain across Metro Detroit, with 86 locations.

• Culver's and Baskin-Robbins are runners-up with 29 and 27 locations, respectively, per a new Axios analysis of Yelp data.

Reality check: Just because one particular chain is dominant doesn't necessarily make it the best.

• Independent shops across the region, like those in a recent Eater Detroit list, have many stalwart advocates for their supremacy.
• Axios Detroit favorites include Erma's, Jim's, River Breeze Dairy Freeze and Ice Cream La Michoacana.
