BELLEVUE, WA — After nearly 50 years, Dick's Drive-In returns to the Eastside Thursday, bringing the burger chain's eighth location to life at Bellevue's Crossroads Shopping Center. Dick's announced the Bellevue selection earlier this year, setting a goal to open its doors before the end of 2021. A grand opening celebration is planned to begin Thursday morning at 9:30 a.m., and marching bands from Bellevue High School and Sammamish High School will be on-hand to soundtrack the celebrations. Dick's Drive-In President Jasmine Donovan will provide remarks ahead of a short ribbon-cutting ceremony, and fans can also pick up Dick's gear at a pop-up clothing shop until 4 p.m. According to the company's website, the Bellevue location is still hiring staffers, and applications can be submitted online. Dick's upped its starting hourly wage to $19 in September. According to The Seattle Times, the Bellevue outpost will also be Dick's largest location, equipped with three kitchens and a catering area to help supply its food truck.
