Since 1965, Clancy’s has been a transformative force in the community. From its humble beginnings with Clancy’s Hamburgers to The Fountain Room, the group has become a staple for hospitality in the Midwest.
In the past five years, the group’s growth hasn’t slowed down.
In 2021, Clancy’s Hamburgers returned to the state of Indiana in The Garage, a bustling food hall located in downtown Indianapolis at Bottleworks District.
Consider your next night out planned at The Fountain Room.
Today, Clancy’s is committed to delivering top-notch hospitality through several restaurant concepts led by an award-winning leadership team — sounds pretty delicious to us.

Local job boards are a total game-changer — for both job seekers and businesses. Instead of sifting through endless listings, they focus on quality over quantity, connecting employers with candidates who actually want to work in the area. That means fewer relocation headaches and better retention.
For big and small businesses, it’s a smart way to connect with candidates who understand the local community and culture. Plus, hiring locally usually means a faster, smoother hiring process. Whether you’re looking for a job or trying to fill one, INDYtoday Job Board keeps things simple, practical, and close to home.
