JUNKYARD Rides Food Channel Fame Into the Franchise Arena

​​​​​​​​When Guy Fieri and his Diners Drive-Ins and Dives Crew pulled into Lancaster, Oregon, population 20, he wasn’t disappointed; instead, what he found was an urban legend. Founders Craig and Kim created a menu and experience that led Guy to say in conversation, “You might want to consider a Multiple Location Operation or franchising this concept!” Several years later, Junkyard Extreme Burgers and Brats is proud to announce the franchising of the business.

On most days in Lancaster, motorists race by at 60 miles per hour and catch a glimpse of people standing in line at the ridiculously themed restaurant with an airplane on the roof. Junkyard does not advertise because customers do it for you. Junkyard is a billboard on its own and to this day the Food Channel reruns the episode almost every month worldwide.

Co-founder Craig Zumwalt credits his wife and business partner Kim for the incredible menu of burgers, brats, franks, fries, fried cheese pizza and more. Together they created a methodology that is pinnacle to the Junkyard brand. According to Zumwalt, the beauty of owning a Junkyard Extreme Burgers and Brats is Difference with a capital D. It's the WOW Factor!

It's not just one-off creations, theme, or decor; it's the hundreds upon hundreds of foodies who tirelessly drive from all parts of the country to declare our idea of a reinvented Burger, Dog, Sausage the best they have ever had.

That makes it worth the 13 years of blood and sweat it took to create this concept. To lead and not follow any other. To create a bar so high all others exist below it.

In the game of supposed gourmet, a burger joint's “Wow Factor” is a rare commodity. Junkyards work best where junkyards are! No need for downtown leases, buys and builds, or expensive advertising campaigns. Out of the fray, a short destination...a place where folks can sit back eat, drink and marvel, as opposed to being led through another cold, checkered floor norm. 

The company is particularly interested in prospective franchise owners who have breweries, already own multiple franchises or executives looking to own their piece of the American dream.
