History

Established in 1986.

In 1986, at the age of 24, they opened their first Honey Bear's restaurant on East Van Buren Street. It immediately received the New Times Best of Phoenix Award, a distinction it has been awarded every year since. By the time they opened their second restaurant on North Central Avenue in January of 1998, their catering business had expanded so much that they had to move many of the catering preparations to a nearby commissary. Six years later, in July 2004, they opened their 3rd restaurant located in Tempe at Priest and Elliot. By then, they had grown from a single truck to three restaurants, nine delivery trucks and 70 plus employees.
