Early days

After selling the franchise to McDermid's brother-in-law, they contacted the Ingram family, the owners of, with the intent of establishing a franchise in the Denver area. The Ingrams declined, citing their refusal to franchise locations of the chain. McDermid and Pollard instead chose to create their own restaurant based around slider burgers. They went to find a location to lease, and ending up choosing a closed drive-in restaurant in northwest near. They converted it into a drive-through restaurant in just three weeks, just in time for the park starting its season, and named the restaurant Mounty's, alluding to the that run through. It proved to be an instant hit, and after opening 7 more locations in the Denver area, McDermid and Pollard began plans to franchise Mounty's.
