Celebrating 90 years in business, Swensons Drive-In fuels growth by embracing its legacy
When Jeff Flowers graduated from a local high school and enrolled in the University of Akron, the first thing he did — “like many Akron natives,” he says — was apply for a job at Swensons Drive-In Restaurants. As a “curb server” tasked with rushing orders out to customers’ cars “with a sprint and a smile,” Flowers quickly learned that his job wasn’t just serving handspun milkshakes or olive-topped Galley Boy burgers; it was delivering a memorable experience for every guest, every time. Ever since the iconic drive-in began flipping burgers back in 1934, Swensons has become revered both for its fresh-grilled, made-to-order meals, as well as its friendly, speedy curbside service.
