History

Lattimore Michael, a native of Cleveland, Mississippi, founded Back Yard Burgers in 1987. The first location was a double drive-thru. The concept quickly gained popularity, and by 1988, the first franchised location opened.

Menu

Back Yard Burgers' menu primarily consists of charbroiled burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads. The company is known for its Black Angus burgers, which are made from 100% Black Angus beef. In addition to its signature burgers, the chain also offers a variety of other items, including vegetarian options and a kids' menu.

Expansion and Franchising

Back Yard Burgers began franchising in 1988, just a year after its founding. The company has since expanded to over 50 locations across the United States, primarily in the Southeast. The company's franchising model has allowed it to grow rapidly while maintaining a consistent brand image and high-quality food.

In 2007, it was acquired by private equity firm Sun Capital Partners. In 2012, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, but emerged from bankruptcy in 2013.
