Smashburger is a fast casual burger restaurant chain with more than 300 corporate and franchise outlets operating in 32 states and 5 countries. The company was founded in Denver, Colorado in 2007 by Tom Ryan, Rick Schaden and the private equity firm, Consumer Capital Partners.[1] Smashburger offers burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, sides, and shakes. The restaurant is known for the smashing technique used to make "better burgers" [2]

Smashburger

Smashburger’s menu focuses primarily on burgers, chicken sandwiches, and salads, with a variety of toppings and options. In mid-2013, they streamlined their menu and eliminated items like hot dogs and crispy (fried) chicken. The restaurant serves localized burgers in each market based on regional flavors.[3] The company also offers a variety of sides, including sweet potato fries, fried onions, fried mild green chilies, and fried pickles, as well as a vegetarian black bean burger and Veggie Frites.[4] Desserts include shakes, malts, and floats made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream.[4]

The chain also serves alcohol, offering beer, wine, and Mike's Hard Lemonade, in addition to assorted malt beverage floats and liqueur-blended shakes. The restaurant teamed up with Moerlain Brewing Co. to serve craft malts and beers that are indicative to the region.[5]

In October 2015, the Philippine-based quick-service operator Jollibee Foods Corporation announced that it has acquired a 40-percent stake in Smashburger in a deal that values the burger chain at $335 million.[6]
