It wouldn’t be a real fiesta without a frozen beverage to wash it all down! Introducing Teddy’s Shake of the Month – Piña Colada or Haupia. As always, Teddy’s signature shakes are packed with 5 scoops of locally made ice cream. Added to this months shake, pineapple juice and fat-free milk blended in yielding an EXTRA THICK and creamy shake!

Co-owner Ted Tsakiris is excited about the new franchise ventures. “The expansion plans for Teddy’s Bigger Burgers throughout the U.S. continues on track with our newest franchisees, planning store openings in Seattle, Iowa and Southern California.  Our planned openings are coming on the heels of both corporate and franchised store openings in Hawaii.  We can’t be more excited about our growth and to be welcoming the newest members of our franchisee family.”

Popular Teddy’s Bigger Burgers started in Hawaii in 1998 and has sizzled the island of Oahu with its quality burgers and shakes ever since. The new franchise locations in Hawaii include Kapiolani Blvd. which will open mid-April, and Corporate stores Kaneohe and Ewa, expected to open May 10 and May 31st respectively.

As for the continental U.S, Teddy’s just signed their first franchisee in Southern California and and second franchise agreement in Seattle and are currently looking for the perfect location for their restaurants. The brand new Iowa City location has started construction and will be open to enjoy in June of this year.

The Teddy’s brand is built on the premise of a fun, 50’s style, high-energy burger joint that features 100 percent ground chuck flame-broiled burgers, old-fashioned extra thick shakes, consistently excellent customer service and unique local flavors and custom concoctions in every franchise.

All territories domestically and internationally are available to qualified prospects. Please visit teddysbiggerburgers.com for information about opening a franchise in your neighborhood.

We’ve given our Teddy’s Bigger Burgers fans all kinds of exciting and unusual burgers this year. To wrap up 2012, we thought we’d mix it up and give you a little breakfast in your burger! Announcing the December Burger of the Month: Chicken & Waffles.

Chicken & Waffles is a beloved soul food tradition from the South, and we’re bringing it to Honolulu with this special burger. Order your choice of our crispy chicken breast or original burger patty, topped with cheddar, bacon and maple syrup—and yep, it comes sandwiched between two crispy waffles! We know it’s a little different from our regular burgers, but you’d better believe that it’s GOOD!

This month we’ve decided to be extra generous with our shakes and give you TWO shakes of the month to keep your burger company: Maple or Mint Chocolate Chip. Our Maple shake of the month will partner well with that Chicken & Waffles burger. Or for you people trying to get into the holiday spirit, the Mint Chocolate Chip shake will give you that minty, wintery feeling in your mouth. Whatever your choice, give yourself the gift of our delicious flavors of the month this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ken Wong has spent almost 10 years in the food service industry working at his father’s restaurant in Canada. Along with that, he has more than 10 years of experience in manufacturing consulting and two years in project managing that will help him get the new Teddy’s in Seattle off to a great start.

“The first time I had a Teddy’s burger was three years ago in Honolulu,” Wong said. “My sister took me there on my first trip to Hawaii and told me about how amazing it was. Of course I was a little bit skeptical, but as soon as I took a bite, I said ‘Wow, this is the best burger I’ve had in my life!’”

For Wong, the food service industry has always been about family working toward the same goals. He aims to create a strong, family-oriented feel with a fun personality and quality food.

Sandy Ting, head of the Iowa City franchise, also grew up in the restaurant industry. Her family owns a restaurant in Iowa and has been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years, which makes her a perfect fit for the Teddy’s Bigger Burgers family.

“A friend took me out to eat at Teddy’s while I was visiting the island,” Ting said, “and I loved it! Everything was fresh and had a great taste to it. The meat was moist and juicy, and it didn’t have that oily taste to it. I actually saw the franchise poster while we were eating and started looking at regions they were promoting, and noticed that Iowa was one of them.”

Ting is positive that Teddy’s will be a great fit in Iowa, especially with the University of Iowa nearby.

“I think people will love it,” she said. “It’s something that hasn’t been introduced in the area before, and it will be refreshing. We want to find the right fit with the University community and make sure that the first Teddy’s in Iowa creates a lasting impression.”

Ting’s franchise in Iowa City and Wong’s in Seattle are the two newest Teddy’s franchises.

“Ken and Sandy, we are proud to be a part of your future, and we look forward to achieving great things together,” said co-owner Ted Tsakiris. “Our goal is to continue expanding in the next few years with five to six new stores on Oahu. We are excited to announce that our newest territory offering is California, where we feel that development will be robust.”

And what better way to celebrate fall than with our Pumpkin Shake of the Month? You’ll be giving thanks too, once you taste our smooth, creamy blended pumpkin ice cream, made right here in Hawaii. Get into the fall season at Teddy’s! Your taste buds with thank you!
