About Food Geeks Eatery
Hey, Food Geek Family! TR Burns here (also known as The Chef Food Geeks Officer), I'm the chef and owner of Food Geeks Eatery.
Food Geeks Eatery Launches partnership with Walmart to Open new locations inside of The Walmart super center in Indian land SC.
The Burns Family have been in the restaurant industry for over several years and each restaurant has drawn people from all over the country. The head Food Geek TR Burns began cooking for family and friends which then turned into the strangers turned family. Food Geeks Eatery means so much to the owners because hands down if you have had our fried chicken Smash Burgers or Booed up wings you would say the same thing.

What We Need & What You Get
We are already on the road to making our dream come true. Our Deal with Walmart is signed, The architect plans for our remodel are done and submitted for permitting, and we’re getting the funds in place to start the business off right (including this fundraiser).Our doors will open in early 2023.
We have a lot of work to do over the next few months, and your support is needed and appreciated. We invite you to become a part of the Food Geek Family and pull up a seat at our table.
- We have completed 65% of the project and are in need of the 35% to finish the project which is $40,000. This will allow us to complete build and purchase final equipment need to open our first Food Geeks Eatery in the Indian Land SC Walmart Super center.
- Tell people about your unique perks. Get them excited!
- In the event that we don't reach our entire financial goal we will still be-opening this location because we have already signed the agreement and started the construction process and invested 65% of the money into the project, the only difference will be that we will either have to secure a business loan and push back or our timeline in order to complete the project.
The Impact
Our Food is the center of our Business but community is why we do what we do at Food Geeks eateries. And we have begun the final steps in the build out of the first of four food geek eateries inside of Walmart super Centers .We you partner will help us create Great food Inspire and build up our communities by providing career jobs for people who desire to become a restaurant owner and operator under our Food Geeks Franchise program
The Pledges
All the details for each pledge are listed in the sidebar, but I want to take this space to say two things
1) We designed our pledges to give you the best value for your support. We know we can't do this without our community, and we're really excited to serve you at the highest level.
2) We're excited to offer someone the chance to name a menu item... if another restauranteur were offering this prize, I'd name an item on their menu something like Chief Geek Cajun Chicken Sandwich
Okay one last thing,
3) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Risks & Challenges
After 2020, I think we all learned that you never know what's going to happen.
Risks of this campaign are minimal as capital procured will go to paying down debt and fulfilling rewards. Every dollar used to back this project will help us hit the ground running with reduced debt and more money for daily operations. Every time we walk through that door we will have every one of you to thank.”
It is a challenging time to open a restaurant, but we have the folks and the brand recognition needed to support the effort.
Other Ways You Can Help
Some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean they can't help:
- Ask folks to get the word out and make some noise about your campaign.
- Remind them to use the Indiegogo share tools!
And that's all there is to it.
