Headquartered in Whitefish, Montana, Glacier Restaurant Group was formed in 2007 when four unique restaurant concepts merged, resulting in the largest restaurant company based in Montana. Strong brand loyalty and a successful business model have provided GRG with the opportunity for growth through franchising and corporate expansion. With over 1,500 employees, the GRG culture is one of high energy, vibrancy, and excitement. The company provides unique and memorable experiences for restaurant patrons and that same respect for employees, franchisees, and the local communities served.

In 2015, using their own funds as well as a portion of those donated by guests through the Round It Up America program, GRG started a scholarship program administered by Whitefish Community Foundation. GRG – R.I.S.E. (Restaurant Industry Scholarship Endowment) will award four scholarships each year. Two scholarships for $2,500 each will be awarded to current, eligible employees, or to children or legal dependents of current employees.   Application to the program opens February 27 and closes April 6, 2023 at 5 p.m. MST.  Awards will be announced in May.
