Lunch Keynote Address: Ed Killeen
Jessie and Ed Kileen started Grassburger in Durango, Colorado in July 2014. They came to the restaurant business with a burning desire to create a new kind of burger concept. They were inspired by their children’s dietary restrictions through food allergies and wanted to create a restaurant brand where you could eat safely, feel welcome, and enjoy great food!
The next stage for Grassburger is to responsibly grow through intentional strategies designed to retain what makes it special and unique, while bringing the brand forward into new markets.
