With the addition of a new restaurant, Charlie’s Old Fashion Hamburgers, Farmersville now has more than 100 established businesses within the city.

Charlie’s Old Fashion Burgers, located at 602 Hwy. 78 N, has a country store theme with time period gifts and accessories, and a soda fountain featuring hand-scooped ice cream and milk shakes.

According to Farmersville Mayor Don Smith, the new restaurant is a welcome addition to the city’s diverse array of businesses and attractions.

“We are pleased to welcome Charlie’s Old Fashion Burgers to our community and the many other wonderful businesses in Farmersville,” Smith said.

“This will be one more reason for people to come visit Farmersville and to see all that we have to offer.”

The owners of Charlie’s Old Fashion Burgers said they picked Farmersville to open their new business after an extensive search for the ideal family-friendly location.

“To be honest, we looked at several different cities in Collin County to open this new restaurant,” said Rory Gloth, co-owner along with Walter Eshleman.

“Initially, we checked things out on the Farmersville Web site, and we really liked what we saw. We liked the logo and the way the city was presented – it seemed to have an historical feel, and yet it was sophisticated – the balance we were looking for. So we came to check things out, and we fell in love.”

Smith said he wasn’t surprised, Farmersville was selected.

“For a town our size – just over 3,000 – it is amazing all that we have going on,” Smith said. “Farmersville is a blend of old and new, established businesses plus start-ups, accessible by highway or town.

We are a community just big enough to provide business opportunities and plenty to do, just small enough to provide a safe, quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the big city.”
