Who We Are

Built By Brothers

For brothers Omar and Yunes, food is more than a business — it's a family tradition built on honest hustle and fresh ingredients.

Our Story

Before the Doors Opened

Growing up behind the counter of their father's grocery store, Omar and Yunes learned two things early on: the value of honest hustle and the importance of using only the freshest ingredients. It was there they realized that great food doesn't just feed people — it brings a community together. This is our story, and it's why we serve fresh food for any mood.

From a single pizza shop in New Hope to two thriving Busy Boys locations in Brooklyn Center and Cambridge, Minnesota — the journey has been fueled by a simple belief: fresh food, made to order, served with pride. Every smash burger is seared fresh, every wing is battered and fried to order, and every milkshake is hand-spun. No shortcuts, no heat lamps, no compromises. Just real food made by real people who care.

Slim's Opens

In February 2013, they honored their roots by opening Slim's — named after Omar's childhood nickname — on bustling Brooklyn Boulevard.
