Dick’s Drive-In, sometimes referred to as Dick’s Burgers or just Dick’s was founded in Seattle, Washington, in 1954. The company operates a small chain of burger and fast-food restaurants. Currently, there are 8 locations.

The menu has changed very little over the years, and the company now allows for minor changes to their burgers.

In addition to excellent food, the company is perhaps best known for its generous employee benefits, including a matching 401K program, 100% company-paid employee medical insurance, a $19 an hour wage, and a generous college tuition scholarship to every employee who stays with the company at least 6 months.

In March 2022, the company received a family business honor from the Puget Sound Business Journal.

Dick’s also has several food trucks which they can use for catering, but are often used for giving out food during emergencies.

In celebration of it’s 69th anniversary, Dick’s will offer burgers at the price they were when they first opened in 1954 for .19 cents.

Omaha Steaks Corporate Office

Omaha Steaks can trace its roots back to 1917 when a butcher in Omaha, Nebraska, began selling high-quality steaks. The company is still privately owned and operated by the Simon family, with 5th-generation son Todd Simon now CEO.

The first retail store was opened in 1976.

Today, the company sells a majority of its products through online sales. All meats are shipped in dry-ice coolers.

The company is the 22nd largest employer in the state of Nebraska.

After Hurricane Ida devastated Louisiana in September 2021, Omaha Steaks delivered several large trucks filled with meat and beef jerky to the hardest-hit areas.

The corporate office for Omaha Steaks remains in Omaha, Nebraska.
