Though Spadaro says there are no plans to sell franchises, he doesn't rule out the possibility in the future. Wink’s Cheeseburger Factory will allow patrons to choose from a variety of cheeses to top their burgers. Their building is a throwback to roadside architecture, with its monolithic dome building designed to look like a giant cheeseburger.
