The story behind Wes’s Burger Shack in Temple, Texas [Video]

TEMPLE, Texas — A popular burger joint in Temple isn’t just known for its food, but for the man behind the meals, Wesley Teeters.

Teeters is the owner of Wes’s Burger Shack and has been serving Central Texans since 2004. His team takes part in several benefits and is constantly giving back to the community.

The dream started when Teeters was just a young boy working in the building.

“They called him Spuds because he filled potatoes,” Teeters’ sister, Jeanetta Roman, said. “That was his first job.”

“Ever since I was 15-16, I said ‘One day I’ll have my own,'” Teeters told 6 News. “A lot of people didn’t believe me. Now I’m 53, and I own it.”

Teeters serves not just stomachs, but hearts too.

“Here we don’t treat you like a number,” Teeters said. “We treat you like family.”
