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 Cheese Curds Gourmet Burgers + Poutinerie

We opened our first Cheese Curds location in the Woodside area of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in February 2012 and we were the Halifax Regional Municipality's very first gourmet burger restaurant. Several other gourmet burger concepts soon followed, some have even since closed their doors, but we continued to succeed despite increased competition and opened a second location in Dartmouth in May 2013. We have been asked over and over when we are going to franchise our awesome burger concept and the answer is...very soon! We have been working hard gearing up for this over the last little while and we are happy to say we will be ready to bring on franchisees for the Atlantic Canada region in 2015.Cheese Curds provides a unique franchise proposition, not only in the quality and reputation of the brand to the consumer but also in the proven operating method offered to franchisees based on the years of experience of our founder.Cheese Curds believes competition is healthy and can only be positive for the customer. We differentiate ourselves by providing chef inspired menu items using only the freshest ingredients, with an unwavering focus on flavour and we prepare everything to order in an open kitchen concept in front of the customer. Our orders take a little longer to fill as a result but we stand behind our mantra that "it is worth the wait". Our high repeat customer experience tells us we are right.
