THIS was like getting mugged by your brother. The talented, yet temperamental, one who left home for bigger and better things.

Anyone for Football?

The name Wimpy is believed to have come from Popeye’s friend J Wellington Wimpy who loved hamburgers as much as Popeye loved spinach.

50 years of Wimpy Excellence






Wimpy became the first company to win the coveted Franchisor and Franchisee of the year awards in the same year.

The First chain to offer a Quorn® based product on it’s menus.

The traditional Table Service units were acquired through a management buy out backed by 3i.

The business was sold to Grand Metropolitan and they began to convert the counter service units to Burger Kings.

Wimpy was the first burger chain to offer a vegetable burger – The original and still the best Spicy Beanburger.

The business was acquired by United Biscuits and 'counter service' restaurants began to open in response to the opening of McDonalds. Bakers SA Ltd bought the South African part of the company. The Wimpy empire had been split up - for now.

The business had expanded to over 1,000 restaurants in 23 countries.

The enjoyment started in Durban where South Africans could get their very first taste of a Wimpy burger in Murchie’s Passage.

The first ‘Wimpy Bar’ opened at the Lyon’s Corner House in Coventry Street London. The bar was originally a specialist fast food section within the more traditional corner house restaurant. The popularity soon led to the establishment of separate Wimpy restaurants serving only hamburgers based meals.
