History
editBurger Time's first location opened in Fargo, North Dakota, in August 1987,[3] and it quickly opened more locations upon its initial success.[4] The company was initially privately owned. Doug Geeslin, a Fargo-based investor, purchased the company from its founder. In 2004 Sterion, a medical devices company later renamed Sten Corporation, purchased Burger Time from Geeslin. Sten was controlled by Gary Copperud, president of CMM Properties, and CEO Kenneth Brimmer, a former president of Rainforest Cafe.[5] On April 29, 2007, Sten sold Burger Time to BTND LLC, a Colorado limited liability company owned by Copperud and Jeffrey A. Zinnecker and accepted all liabilities. The duo resigned from Sten's board of directors.[6]
Types
editBurger Time primarily operates outdoor restaurants which offer only drive-through or walk up service.[7] There is typically an outdoor seating area available as well as extra parking for customers who wish to eat in their vehicles.[1]
Products
editThe company's menu includes hamburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and other typical fast food fare, sold in combinations or a la carte.[1] Their signature item is the "Bigger Burger", a 1/3 pound flame broiled burger.[1] Burger Time also purveys barbecue pulled pork and chicken sandwiches as well as apple pie.[3] The "Bigger Burger" combo accounts for 80% of a typical location's sales.[8]
