Bronco's teased Big News coming soon. I would assume its the announcement of their third location?

when's this "coming soon" suppose to happen? Would rather have a Bronco's near the HyVee on 192nd and HWY 370 than a Culver's.

One thought is will they build new or take over an existing building. The old McDonald's on 72nd or Wendy's on 90th for instance would need a lot of work. Looks like scavengers have been through both. Still cheaper to remodel that a build new. I didn't find any properties in Douglas or Sarpy other than the current two.

The three finalists appear to be:
Bellevue
NW Omaha
Papillion

Gretna was on the list but apparently removed.

In their monthly "newsletter" last week, they said:
Bronco's wrote: "Many local small businesses have had to reduce their hours and services or closed entirely due to a lack of employees. Because of this, it's not feasible for us to launch a third location right now. We need to hire staff for our current locations now.

We know things will get better and more and more people will be able to join the workforce and these issues are temporary.

In the meantime, we're focusing on improvements in and around our restaurants. We've also just launched our newly revamped website. What do you think?"
So, is Bronco's third location ever going to happen?

I doubt it. Not in this economy.

You are correct, but for the wrong reason.

It just takes 50 years to develop the flavor. To open a 3rd location in Elkhorn with the same flavor, they would have to have started the first boil around the time pagers and dialup internet were mainstream.

The issue is, they would have to change the oil for the first time since 1967. I don't mean that in a bad way. All that flavor and crispness is developed over generations of skipped oil changes.


I'll have a #1 combo, hold the drink, with a leg on top please. Upgrade to large fries. I'll bring my own Pepsi.

Maybe it's rancid oil that keeps people going back to Alberados. I've tried them twice in 20 years. I seriously don't get the hype for the place.

At risk of getting kicked off the forum, I have to admit I have never eaten at Bronco's

I don't remember the last time I ate Bronco's but Brads picture might have sold me on a trip real soon. There's a place down in Falls City called Frosty Queen that makes a really delicious double bacon cheeseburger that is similar to the one above.

I like Bronco's - would rather have their burgers over half the other places in Omaha that offer them.

As a kid I would get their hot dog... not gonna lie, I ordered one from there not too long ago. Tastes the same. Something about how they slice it down the middle and cook it on the fryer...

That is a great photo Brad. I used to go to Broncos a couple times a month when I worked downtown. I used to love going to the one on Leavenworth just to people watch. The food was good too.

Glad you liked the previous photo (apparently I never said thanks). Tonight the1wags and I went down to Leavenworth to photograph LaCasa and Bronco's. I have already photographed Bronco's so my plan was to focus on LaCasa. But then the sunset happened so I stopped with LaCasa for a few min and ran down to Bronco's. Here is what I ended up with...

Love it! Nice use of the ultra-wide-angle lens.

Now we just need Broncos to fix their "urself" neon and we'll be all set.
