The Original Hamburger Stand
The Original Hamburger Stand is a regional fast food chain in the southwestern United States. Besides its low cost burgers,[1] the franchise features menu items from its sister companies Wienerschnitzel and Tastee-Freez at some of its locations. The franchise has locations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, and Wyoming.
[edit] History
The Original Hamburger Stand began when its parent company the Galardi Group[2] attempted to compete in the hamburger market. The Galardi Group added hamburgers to its Wienerschnitzel menus in 1979, but with little success into the 1980s, the company started 2 new chains, The Original Hamburger Stand and Weldon's gourmet hamburgers. Poor performing Wienerschnitzel locations were replaced with The Original Hamburger Stands; such as locations in the Denver area[1]. By 2003, Tastee-Freez was added to eight The Original Hamburger Stand locations and sixteen by 2007 according to the Tastee-Freez website.
