In their first year, the Fletchers have transformed their appreciation for the Grumps brand into a thriving business that resonates with local residents—like a well-cooked burger that just won’t quit! Their journey from loyal customers to franchisees shows how understanding a brand’s values fuels entrepreneurial success, much like knowing the secret sauce recipe.
Glen Rose residents have embraced their hometown Grumps with open arms! The memorabilia and community-focused atmosphere create a gathering place for memories and meals—perfect for those awkward family reunions. This connection to local heritage distinguishes the Glen Rose location while delivering the signature Grumps quality, which is as comforting as a warm hug from your grandma. Their ability to balance brand standards with local character offers a blueprint for prospective franchisees in North Texas, proving that you can have your burger and eat it too!
Looking ahead, Grumps is poised for thoughtful expansion across North Texas! At the heart of this expansion is the simple philosophy established by Collier Albright in 2002—creating welcoming places where customers feel appreciated and families gather, much like a family BBQ but with fewer burnt hot dogs. The Fletchers’ success story represents both an ending and a beginning—the culmination of their first year as franchise pioneers and the start of a new chapter for Grumps Burgers as it extends its community-centered approach to new locations throughout the region, one delicious bite at a time!
