In every profession, there are the people that everyone looks up to. In manufacturing, these folks are,the journeyman. When something went wrong or you got behind, they would come in to clean it up. One day after they’d finished a job, a few journeyman asked Universal for a recommendation. They knew exactly what they wanted–a mom and pop burger place, fresh patties with nothing frozen; and some simple, good ingredients. They were looking for an iconic burger joint. When Universal tried to list a few places off, every single one was closed.
For blue collar workers, the shifts go late and they go late often. Some people work overnight, and even some of the day shifts end after midnight. Most of the time, that makes fast food the only option. If you forget your lunch or don’t have time, you’re going to the place that’s still open. Universal saw his opportunity. Omaha, and North Omaha in particular, needs its iconic burger joint.
When Universal graduated from high school, he pursued a culinary arts degree at Job Corps Realizing that there was an opportunity right here in his own neighborhood brought an old dream back to life. He thought to himself, “I take risks. I’ll throw my hat in the ring. Let’s go.”
That is wonderful we need more ord this in the community we love to eat Good Food
This is a great thing. Every1 in Omaha and visitors even from out of town should want to show support. The Burgers are great and friendly staff are admirable. I have a couple of good Friends that strive to be their best. Thanks for your drive and establishing ownership in a fast pace Local Business. I witnessed Leaders and Entreprenuership developedments. I am very proud to see this transform into the best Best Burger!
