Give young fans a connection to a memorable Illinois restaurant name with this Meatheads Burgers & Fries youth hoodie. Founded in Bloomington in 2007, the chain grew from a college-town beginning into the Chicago area, where its fast-casual identity and fries cut in front of customers helped guests remember it. Its company-owned history, 2019 sale, and later restaurant conversions trace the changing fortunes of a regional burger business. A comfortable everyday reminder of a local food story worth sharing across generations.
Meatheads Burgers & Fries was an Illinois fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in hamburgers and related menu items. It began in Bloomington, Illinois, in 2007, attracting students from Illinois State University and other young customers. The chain entered the Chicago area in 2009 and went on to open 14 additional locations there. By October 2016, it had 17 operating restaurants, including one in Champaign near the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Meatheads emphasized a fast-casual identity rather than a traditional fast-food format and sought to distinguish its burger offerings by cutting fries in front of customers. The company remained entirely company-owned and did not adopt a franchise model; its reported annual sales in 2011 were approximately $5 million. In 2019, its partners sold the business to Crave Brands LLC. Meatheads and its parent filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 9, 2021. In September 2023, Epic Burger acquired the six remaining Meatheads locations and began converting them, starting with the Northbrook restaurant. By July 2024, only two locations remained, and those were later replaced.
