Last day for Dick’s Drive-In offers 19-cent burger deal

Dick’s Drive-In

SEATTLE, Wash. — Get them while you can! This week, Dick’s Drive-In is celebrating the chain’s 71st anniversary with 19-cent hamburgers and cheeseburgers—and today is the last day for the offer.

On Thursday, the Edmonds, Kent, and Holman Road Seattle locations are selling the discounted burgers.

The limit is one per customer at 19-cents.

The first Dick’s Drive-In was founded by Dick Spady, Warren Ghormley and Dr. B.O.A. “Thom” Thomas in Wallingford on NE 45th Street on January 28, 1954.

At the time, the going rate for hamburgers was  35¢.

“Not many people believed that selling burgers for 19¢, especially with a commitment to quality ingredients, could succeed, but for our customers it was love at first bite and here we are 71 years later,”  said Jasmine Donovan, President of Dick’s Drive-In in a news release.

This year, Dick’s Drive-In will open its 10th restaurant. The Everett location will start serving burgers, fries, and shakes this summer. An exact date has not been announced.
