Our Story
GloryBurger was born in the spring of 2021, the second half of our sophomore year of high school.
Our shared interest in cuisine began to focus in on street food, and we started to dream of running our own little stand at the Richmond Famers Market.
​By the end of that first summer, we couldn't keep up with the demand at the weekly Farmers Market. We decided we would expand into a real food truck. We also added our third partner, Ryan.
Throughout that winter, we converted a flatbed into a food trailer, complete with running hot and cold water, cooking appliances, and electricity.
In 2022 we were a finalist in the Seven Daisies awards for Best Food Truck, Best Burger, and Best Fries in Vermont, as well as the subjects of multiple news stories (linked here, here and here).
In the summers of '22, '23 and '24 we gained a customer base and found our preferred events and setup locations. We also added a POS system and standard operating procedures to ensure wait times < 10 minutes.
In spring 2025, after our fourth concecutive summer running the business out of our original trailer, we invested in and renovated an additional trailer which is used for prep and storage.
The new trailer allows us to centralize prep operations and inventory storage, which is a key step toward our ultimate goal of having employees who can run operations independently.
