Hires Big H traces its start to Don Hale’s first restaurant at 400 South and 700 East in Salt Lake City in 1959. Its current menu centers on burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes and root beer. The company’s family history remains part of the brand customers encounter today. [1]

The business also offers catering, online ordering and a shop selling products such as root-beer extract. Those channels extend a drive-in identity beyond a meal at the counter. Its Utah role combines a long-running local restaurant format with products and services customers can use at home or for a gathering. [1]
