Wayback Burgers, America’s favorite hometown burger joint and one of the nation’s fastest-growing burger franchises, announced the official opening of its newest location at the Victory Shops – 3100 FM 2181 in Hickory Creek, TX on Friday, May 15.

Owned and operated by Thomas Kincaid, Wayback Burgers of Hickory Creek is his first location with the brand. The 1,750 square-foot Wayback Burgers of Hickory Creek will offer guests the brand’s signature menu items in a lighter, brighter, and elevated dine-in experience. Its modern kitchen will be visible through glass windows and a pass-through, allowing guests to watch their food being prepared. Furnishings will include a variety of seating options, such as upholstered banquettes, booths, and floating community tables.

“We are thrilled to officially bring the Wayback Burgers dining experience to Hickory Creek,” said Patrick Conlin, President of Wayback Franchising LLC. “With each new location, we look forward to bringing people together over great food and being a meaningful part of the community, while working alongside Thomas to welcome and serve our guests.”

Wayback Burgers offers a variety of made-to-order, delicious burgers available as a single patty or classic double patties.
