Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard is a Lakewood, Colorado-based fast-food restaurant specializing in premium burgers and frozen custard. The chain operates 35 locations, 33 in Colorado, and 2 in Wyoming.[2][3]

History[]

In 1968, Round the Corner Restaurants was started in Boulder, Colorado,[4] and established a chain of gourmet, sit down hamburger restaurants.[5] At its peak, Round the Corner had 30 restaurants in 4 states.[4]

In 1986, Round the Corner formed a company to develop the Good Times drive-through concept.[5] By 1987[6] as Good Times Drive-Thru Burgers, the company opened its first location in Boulder.

Between 1990 and 1993, Round the Corner became a subsidiary of Good Times Restaurants, Inc., and was spun off into a separate company in 1995. Round the Corner filed for bankruptcy in 1996, with Good Times as the only secured creditor.[5] By 2000, the last remaining Round the Corner restaurant, located in Aurora, Colorado, had been sold to an independent operator.[4]

In 2005, Good Times began a test agreement[7] with Taco John's to open co-branded restaurants.[8] In 2007, Good Times introduced new Bambino Burgers,[9] slider hamburgers similar to those sold by White Castle.

In 2013, Good Times acquired a 48-percent interest in North Carolina-based franchiser , described as a "full service, upscale, 'small box' restaurant concept". The agreement included development rights for franchise locations in the states of Colorado, Arizona, and Kansas.[10] In 2015, Good Times announced it would be acquiring the remaining 52 percent of Bad Daddy's for $21 million.[11]

Frozen custard[]

Flavor of the month[]

Good Times has many flavors of frozen custards that rotate depending on the month as well as serving vanilla year round.

Pawbenders[]

Good Times also serves Pawbenders, which are frozen treats created for dogs. They contain vanilla Frozen Custard, three Milk Bones, and a Peanut Butter Drizzle.[12] A percentage of the money made from every Pawbender sold goes to support the Dumb Friends League, Freedom Service Dogs of America, and/or the Larimer Humane Society.[13]
