The History of Good Times Burgers
The story of Good Times began in 1968 with a restaurant called Round the Corner. It started in Boulder, Colorado. This place served fancy sit-down hamburgers. At its busiest, Round the Corner had 30 restaurants in four different states!
From Sit-Down to Drive-Through
In 1986, the company decided to try something new: a drive-through! They created the Good Times drive-through idea. By 1987, the first Good Times Drive-Thru Burgers opened in Boulder.
Over time, Good Times Restaurants, Inc. became the main company. Round the Corner became a separate business in 1995. By 2000, the last Round the Corner restaurant was sold.
Working with Taco John's
In 2004, Good Times tried something interesting. They teamed up with another restaurant called Taco John's. The idea was to open restaurants that had both Good Times and Taco John's food. They even remodeled a Taco John's building in Wyoming for this.
Later, in 2007, Good Times added new small burgers called Bambino Burgers. These were like the slider hamburgers from White Castle.
Adding Bad Daddy's Burger Bar
In 2013, Good Times bought a part of a company called Bad Daddy's Burger Bar. This was a different kind of restaurant. It was a "full-service, upscale" burger place. Good Times planned to open these restaurants in Colorado, Arizona, and Kansas. By 2015, Good Times bought the rest of Bad Daddy's.
Today, the main offices for Good Times are in Golden, Colorado. Some Good Times locations still share a building with Taco John's, especially in Wyoming.
About Good Times Frozen Custard
Good Times is well-known for its delicious frozen custard. It's like ice cream but even creamier!
Monthly Flavors
They have a special "flavor of the month" for their frozen custard. This means you can try new and exciting flavors all the time! They also always have vanilla frozen custard available.
Treats for Your Pets
Good Times even has a special treat for dogs called Pawbenders! These treats are made with vanilla frozen custard, three Milk Bones, and a drizzle of peanut butter. A part of the money from each Pawbender sold helps animal charities. These charities include the Dumb Friends League, Freedom Service Dogs of America, and the Larimer Humane Society.
