[7][8][9] Samuel V. Blair opened the Kewpee Hotel restaurant in downtown Flint and expanded to approximately 400 locations by 1939 through licensing the name.
[7] Thomas began leasing the original Harrison Street, Flint location from Blair upon his retirement on April 1, 1944.
Blair died in 1945 and Thomas continued to lease the location and pay royalties to Adams for use of the Kewpee name.
Thomas expanded with a second Kewpee location downtown Flint with the purchase of Vernor's Ginger Ale building in 1951.
[16] The staff of the former Harrison Street location were transferred to a newly opened Halo Burger serving Flint's east side.
[13] In 1985, Halo Burger expanded to Birch Run,[13] with a location that was opened on property leased at Conlee Oil Company's station.
As his son was uninterested in 2010, the Thomas family sold the nine location chain to Dortch Enterprises, which operates multiple Subway restaurants in Michigan, with the sale completed on December 29, 2010[7] for a price of about $10 million.
[22] Dortch will be expanding to new locations and making over of the restaurants towards a "fast-casual feel" with earth tones and "upscale decor".
[8] In August 2012, Dortch filed and received approval for a site plan for a joint Halo Burger-Subway location on Belsay Road in Burton.
The man's defense is that he is not using it commercial, Twitter handles are first come first served and the "Halo Burger" trademark was supposedly rejected by the U.S.
Halo Country is majority owned by Chance Richie, who has been involved in investment banking and the oil and gas industry.
[4] Also in early March, a new location was opened at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the chain's first professional sports partnership.
[42] Starting with the July 2016 Back to the Bricks, the company would have a Halo Burger food truck for community events.
[43] Three locations, Brighton, Novi and Fenton Road, were closed in late September 2016 due to poor sales.
Morris Township location was in a Beacon & Bridge gas station where Halo could not agree on a new lease with the landlord.
[49] By March 18, 2018, the Saginaw Street Downtown Flint location started serving breakfast again, which was stopped about a decade back.
