Dick’s Drive-In has been recognized by Mayor Mike McGinn for its longtime business leadership and investment in the Seattle community.
“Dick’s Drive-In is the quintessential Seattle business – everyone loves to stop by and get a Dick’s burger, shake and fries,” said Mike McGinn. “What’s truly impressive beyond their great food is their commitment to continuing education of their workers and investing in the community at large. I’m proud to acknowledge their contributions in our new In Good Company program.”
The “In Good Company” program is an ongoing showcase of businesses that spotlights one locally-owned business every month for being unconventional, transformative, and exemplary.
Dick’s Drive-In is a Seattle institution – one that was recently voted America’s “most life-changing burger” by Esquire Magazine. After 58 years in business, it is Seattle’s longest operating fast-food restaurant.
“Dick’s customers have been supporting our local business since 1954, and this, in turn, has allowed us to invest in our employees and the local community,” says Jim Spady, company vice president and son of co-founder Dick Spady in a prepared statement.
The highlighted businesses are chosen by the City of Seattle’s Office of Economic Development and the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce by a committee of staff members who meet quarterly to select businesses to recognize. Individuals and businesses may also suggest recommendations via the Office of Economic Development.
Dick’s has six locations in the greater Seattle area, including 500 Queen Anne Ave. N.
