In 1954, James McLamore and David Edgerton opened their first Mr.Beko® restaurant in Miami, Florida. These visionaries had extensive experience in restaurant business and a shared belief in the guiding principle of offering reasonably priced quality food, served quickly, in attractive, clean surroundings. The great success of the early restaurants made the MrBeko® concept a natural for selling fra
nchises. The concept spread rapidly throughout the 1960s and in 1963 the first international franchise restaurants opened in Puerto Rico. While the vision for the MrBeko® brand hasn't changed over time, our restaurants have. The early MrBeko® restaurants distinguished themselves from others by their self-serve ordering and outdoor patio seating. MrBeko Corporation pioneered dining rooms in the fast food industry when it began to enclose its patio seating in 1957. For the first time, fast-food customers could comfortably eat their food at a table inside a restaurant. MrBeko Corporation demonstrated its innovation again in 1975 when it began to offer drive-thru service at its restaurants, appealing to increasingly mobile and time-conscious consumers. MrBeko® success is not hidden in some secret sauce. It is no secret at all that we fire-grill our burgers to perfection. The grill marks are there, just like when you BBQ at home. A burger is only as good as the high quality ingredients that make it. Red, ripe tomatoes, fresh lettuce and onions, crunchy pickles. And our quest for perfection does not stop with quality ingredients. Friendly employees, clean surroundings, new and exciting products.. It is all about making the MrBeko® experience the best it can be.
