He would later relocate, and opened additional small hamburger restaurants on Main Street, Regent Street and in Sugar House, which featured soft-serve ice cream machines that were among the first in the state. Within a year, he opened his first true drive-in at E. Anderson wrote that its formula for success included "absolute cleanliness, a menu of family favorites, fast service, quality food and modest prices.
He added, "We could cook 43 hamburgers every four minutes and prepare 1, orders of french fries per hour. He added, "The drive-in featured five walk-up windows with a cash register at each one.
The menu included hamburgers 19 cents, cheeseburgers 24 cents, hot dogs 19 cents, apple turnovers 19 cents, french fries 10 cents, shakes 21 cents, soft drinks 10 cents. He wrote that such prices and service later would seem old hat as Americans grew accustomed to fast food. It was deliciously different. In , he added a drive-in at W. North Temple. In , he added another at 33rd South and Highland Drive.
Soon he expanded around the state — and in he even sold a franchise in South Africa. Anderson was also involved in other business ventures, including starting a chain of family restaurants, building the Continental Motel on North Temple in Salt Lake City and striking it rich in a uranium mine partnership. He served as president and a longtime board member of the Utah State Restaurant Association. He said that group "went after the 'greatest guy in the world' — the dad who took his family out to dinner.
We created an image of this man's adoring children eating healthful food and learning good manners, and of his wife who had to cook three times a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year — unless she was married to the greatest guy in the world. His accountants told him he would go broke selling at that lower price. As a preemptive strike, he started selling hamburgers for 15 cents each on the slow days of Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and sales volume increased.
When McDonald's started building its first Utah drive-in in Provo, Dee's started selling hamburgers for 15 cents every day. We didn't go broke. Dee's continued to make an excellent profit," Anderson wrote. He added that when some early McDonald's in Utah struggled, their owners called him. McDonald's made a very attractive offer. But we weren't interested. He added, "McDonald's continued to build new locations.
So did we. Instead of hurting us, they helped us greatly. They kept us at our best and gave us new ideas. But eventually after Anderson had retired and other family members took over, Dee's did sell out to Hardee's. Serve with salsa and soured cream for a quick and tasty treat — perfect for sharing.
