History of Good Times Restaurants
In 1968, a company called Round the Corner Restaurants started in Boulder, Colorado. They created a chain of fancy sit-down hamburger restaurants. At its busiest, Round the Corner had 30 restaurants across four states.
In 1986, Round the Corner created a new company. This new company was meant to develop the Good Times drive-through idea. By 1987, the first Good Times Drive-Thru Burgers restaurant opened in Boulder.
Between 1990 and 1993, Round the Corner became part of Good Times Restaurants, Inc. Then, in 1995, it became a separate company again. Round the Corner later faced financial difficulties in 1996. By 2000, the last Round the Corner restaurant was sold.
Partnerships and Growth
In 2004, Good Times started working with Taco John's. They wanted to try opening restaurants that had both brands. This included remodeling a Taco John's building in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
In 2007, Good Times introduced new Bambino Burgers. These were slider hamburgers, similar to those from White Castle.
In 2013, Good Times bought a 48% share in a company called Bad Daddy's Burger Bar. This company runs full-service, upscale restaurants. The agreement allowed Good Times to open Bad Daddy's restaurants in Colorado, Arizona, and Kansas. In 2015, Good Times announced it would buy the rest of Bad Daddy's.
As of 2023, the main offices for Good Times are in Golden, Colorado. The Taco John's location in Cheyenne, Wyoming, no longer operates as a Good Times restaurant. However, the two Good Times locations in Wyoming (Gillette and Sheridan) still share buildings with Taco John's.
On July 30, 2024, the company changed its name. It shortened it from Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard to just Good Times.
Frozen Custard Treats
Good Times is also famous for its frozen custard. This is a creamy, cold dessert.
Monthly Flavors
Good Times offers many different flavors of frozen custard. These flavors change each month. They also always have vanilla frozen custard available all year.
Pawbenders for Pets
Good Times also has a special treat for dogs called Pawbenders. These treats are made with vanilla frozen custard, three Milk Bones, and a peanut butter drizzle. A part of the money from every Pawbender sold helps animal charities. These charities include the Dumb Friends League and Freedom Service Dogs of America.
