P. Terry’s Opening Near Mahncke Park on Broadway St.
Look for a new P. Terry’s burger stand to open at 3302 Broadway St., near Mahncke Park. The location is well under construction.
On its website, P. Terry’s tells its story. “Kathy & Patrick Terry opened their first P. Terry’s on July 5th, 2005, at the corner of South Lamar and Barton Springs in Austin, Texas. Patrick, fulfilling his childhood dream, wanted to create a classic burger stand reminiscent of the famous Mack Eplen’s he grew up loving in Abilene, Texas.
“We were inspired by the classic burger stands of the ‘50s and ‘60s when small-town, genuine hospitality was the norm. Our buildings also draw inspiration from the ‘50s Googie architecture movement; we think it’s warm, inviting, and timeless.
What is Googie architecture? On the website www.curbed.com, Googie architecture is described as, “The term Googie comes from the now-defunct Googies Coffee Shop in Hollywood designed by John Lautner. Similar architectural styles are also referred to as Populuxe or Doo Wop. Features of Googie include upswept roofs, curvilinear, geometric shapes, and bold use of glass, steel, and neon.”
P. Terry’s says its menu is simple and affordable, giving everyone access to high-quality, all-natural ingredients they can feel better about eating.
The company also says it gives back to the communities it serves with Giving Back Days. Read more about P. Terry’s burger stand at www.pterrys.com.
