Even in rocky economic times, burgers can make for good business. Just ask Rick Schaden, whose Smashburger debuted with a single store on Denver's Colorado Boulevard less than a year ago. Today, Schaden is looking at expanding to 20 stores by the end of this year and an eventual empire of 500 locations nationwide.

Smashburger offers avant-garde burgers in an environment that the Rocky Mountain News calls "a space-age diner ... that offers tap beer alongside Haagen-Daz milkshakes." The chain currently has four locations in the Denver metro area.
