Bubba Foods

BUBBA burger was created by Walter “Bubba” Eaves during the 1990s. The burger is designed to be cooked from a frozen state and does not require defrosting. Eaves avoided fillers and trimmings and used primarily meat chucks. Distribution of Bubba burger began with grocery stores in the Southeast and expanded across the nation. The burgers are now commonly found in many retail stores across the US.[3]

In 2011 Bubba Foods purchased four Times Grills in Jacksonville applying a fast-casual restaurant concept. The restaurant menu features all the varieties of Bubba Burgers.[4] In 2012 the last of the four Bubba Burger Grill restaurants closed in Jacksonville.[5]

Bubba Foods initially marketed four types of burgers:

• Original BUBBA burger
• Sweet Onion BUBBA burger
• Reduced Fat BUBBA burger
• Angus Beef BUBBA burger

They have since expanded their product line to include:

• Bacon Cheddar BUBBA burger
• Turkey BUBBA burger
• Turkey with Monterey Jack Cheese BUBBA burger
• Turkey with Sweet Onion BUBBA burger
• Veggie BUBBA burger [3]

and others.

Bubba Foods is active in auto racing,[6] having sponsored three-time Pocono Raceway winner Bobby Labonte.[7] They were also a sponsor to Joe Nemechek and the Deware Racing Group No. 86 Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. On February 8, 2016 they announced they will support Shea Holbrook, 6-time Pirelli World Challenge winner, during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.[8] In 2016, BUBBA burger became the sponsor of IMSA's Sports Car Grand Prix of Long Beach.[9] A year later, BUBBA burger sponsored Corey LaJoie's No. 83 and Gray Gaulding's No. 23 BK Racing cars during the 2017 NASCAR season.[10]
