Back Yard Burgers
Back Yard Burgers, Inc.Back Yard Burgers, Inc., is an American regional franchise chain of quick serve restaurants. Its headquarters is located in Nashville, Tennessee. As of November 2014, there were 65 locations in the Southern and Midwestern United States, chiefly in Tennessee and Mississippi. In August 2008, there had been 171 locations.
Although it is the most common commercial breed in the country, the franchise's marketing tries to distinguish itself from other hamburger chains by the use of 100% Black Angus Beef. Back Yard Burgers also offers salads, baked potatoes, and other side items as optional replacements for fries in its combo meals, and also offers a vegetarian garden burger.
The first Back Yard Burgers restaurant opened in Cleveland, Mississippi, in 1987. Originally, the chain consisted of only drive-through restaurants without any dine-in facilities, but most locations have since added dine-in facilities. In recent years, the company has emphasized the quality of Black Angus Beef.
In 2002, Back Yard Burgers and Yum! Brands, Inc., temporarily entered into a development agreement whereby Yum! had an option to co-brand Back Yard Burgers' trademarks with its other restaurants' trademarks, including Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC. In 2004, however, after Yum! chose not to exercise its option, the two companies abandoned this plan as Yum! began revitalization of the A&W brand of hamburgers and root beer.
