Job Description

Description :

In 1934, Pop Swenson had a dream. He wanted to serve folks the best burger possible with fresh beef, all while standing out from the crowd and not being just another burger joint.

Since then, our signature Galley Boy has won multiple awards and we are continuing to add new locations, along with multiple Food Trucks and Ghost Kitchens.

Our business is expanding rapidly and as a result, we need fun and energetic team members that share our passion for perfection to join our growing team.

If you possess an internal drive to be better than the rest and be a little bit different while having fun making new friends, then you may just be a natural SWENATIC, and we want to meet you!
