Title:
Burger Queen
Description:
Connie Hewitt Widmyer started selling burgers out of a truck in 1981. The business quickly grew, and just two years later she opened Burger Queen in its current location on Water Street, just beyond the tunnel. The Burger Queen staff serves over 5,000 customers each month during the summer in contrast to Hamburger Haven, which served its 5,000th burger after 6 weeks in business in 1953.
