Minute Man Hamburgers

Wesley T. Hall opened the first Minute Man restaurant on May 26, 1948, starting out as a coffee shop with 24-hour service. In 1956, Hall bought out the other partners and converted the flagship store at 407 Broadway into a fast-food establishment. Once Hall bought the business, he was quick to convert its menu from America’s favorite wake up call to a classic American food: delicious, charcoal grilled hamburgers. Over the next 26 years, his businesses skyrocketed to success. A winning recipe, fast service, and a hardworking staff led to fifty-seven Minute Man locations in three states.
