Back Yard Burgers

Acquisition in 2017
Back Yard Burgers is a fast casual, better-burger concept that takes pride in its commitment to “providing custom, flame-grilled burgers and sandwiches with care.” The company’s franchise partners and employees are passionate about offering fresh ingredients, allowing their guests to customize their meals and serve the same high-quality food they would offer at home to their own family. Along with made-to-order gourmet Angus burgers, Back Yard Burgers’ menu includes delicious grilled chicken sandwiches, fresh and creative salads, hand-dipped milkshakes, and freshly baked desserts. Today the franchise brand operates 55 locations (23-company owned and 33 franchised restaurants) in 11 states. Back Yard Burgers is a strong supporter of Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry, whose goal is to end childhood hunger in America.
