History
Earth Burger was founded in San Antonio in 2014, by the co-owners of Green Vegetarian Cuisine. Executive chef Mike Behrend The Veg King,[2][3] Paul Evans and Ellen Evans are members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[4] Jeff Sinelli founder of Sinelli Concepts and Which Wich? helped the co-owners of Earth Burger raise $43,000 on Kickstarter[5][6] to launch the fast-food restaurant, which orginally was vegetarian until it became all vegan in 2017.[7][6] The first location for Earth Burger was at Park North Shopping Center.[8] Earth Burger is the first fast-food restaurant in the United States to serve a plant-based menu.[7][9][10][11]
In early 2018, Earth Burger opened a location at Mall of America, it later closed on November 4,2019.[12][13] On June 11, 2018, Earth Burger opened its second location in San Antonio at a former Church's Texas Chicken.[14][15]
In early October 2022, Earth Burger partnered with Sinelli Concepts to franchise across the United States. On November 10, 2022, Earth Burger had a launch party for those interested in franchising with the company.[5][9][16] On January 17, 2023, Oomi Digital Kitchen became the first restaurant in Dallas to offer a Earth Burger menu digitally.[1][11][17]
