- Town Talk: Veggie burger company is little business with big growth
- May 23, 2014
- The area near 23rd and Haskell is quickly becoming one of the more important food centers in Lawrence, and not just because of the cheap hot dogs in the area’s convenience stores. Just west of the QuikTrip, in a converted machine shop, is the headquarters and production facility for Hilary’s Eat Well, the veggie burger company formed by the owner of the former downtown restaurant Local Burger. Keep an eye on that location because Hilary’s Eat Well is quickly transforming from a little veggie burger company into a full-fledged natural foods company with a national footprint.
