Patrick Conlin, President, sheds light on Wayback’ s background and entry into the realm of fast-food.
“ Established in 1991 as Jake’ s Wayback Burgers in Newark, Delaware, the company was originally a roadside hamburger stand. Starting from these humble beginnings, we then grew to a few locations down in Delaware but were still owned by one gentleman. In 2008, he began franchising with the help of John Eucalitto, our current CEO, who brought valuable experience in franchising. They subsequently relocated the headquarters to its current home in Cheshire. Since then, we have evolved from about seven hamburger stands to nearly 200 locations, mainly in the US but also internationally,” he opens.
