Description
The enjoyment started in Durban where South Africans could get their very first taste of a Wimpy burger in Murchie's Passage. Back then in 1967, if you ordered a Wimpy burger with chips and Coke, your bill would be a whopping 60 cents. The Wimpy burger boom had begun and people enjoyed every moment of it. It didn't take long before we were South Africa's leading restaurant franchise.

Wimpy SA was bought from J Lyons by Bakers SA Ltd in the late 1970s and in 1987 the success of Wimpy and fast food franchising led to the formation of Pleasure Foods - a franchise holding company for Wimpy and Juicy Lucy. Milky Lane and Whistle Stop were later added to the Pleasure Food Group. 1985 was another milestone year for Wimpy, and for the progress of racial harmony. That was the year that, long before real change was seen in South Africa, Wimpy officially welcomed all races inside its stores, making it a destination that every South African could enjoy.
