About Cheeburger Cheeburger

Cheeburger Cheeburger is a diner-style burger restaurant chain that started on Sanibel Island, FL in 1986. The restaurant chain specializes in big, juicy cheeseburgers, french fries, onion rings, and handmade milkshakes. From the very first day, the concept of a family fun theme, serving the world's best and biggest burgers, fries, rings and shakes, was an instant hit. Today, there is simply no doubt about it. The right combination, so elusive in the restaurant business, has led to a real success story.Cheeburger Cheeburger is on the verge of an aggressive national expansion, because our customers are demanding it. Vacationers and travelers who experience our restaurants on Sanibel Island, in Huntsville, Alabama, Chattanooga, Tennessee and other cities, are asking us to open in towns across America. The number of our restaurants has grown substantially.

About Hot Dog On A Stick

Our first store opened at Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, California in 1946. Our founder, Dave Barham, was a charismatic and enlightened personality who understood the value of treating people to an experience as opposed to a service. In short, he built his business around the concepts of putting people first, and giving them a show. His approach was extremely successful. By 1990 Hot Dog on a Stick had become an icon in our primary venue, shopping malls, with 60 stores operating in 12 states.
After Dave passed away in 1991, we became an employee owned corporation (ESOP) led by a management team he had mentored over the years. This team has successfully overseen Hot Dog on a Stick's expansion to over 103 stores in 17 states.
