The Tumbleweed concept traces back to 1975, when George and Linda Keller developed a range of Tex Mex flavors and shared them with friends and family. The Kellers expanded into a 7,000 square foot facility across the river in Louisville, Kentucky, opened three more Louisville locations, and franchised additional units across Southern Indiana and Kentucky. A 1984 trip to Dallas led to the installation of wood-burning Mesquite grills in every unit. In 1995, after 20 years of building the brand, the Kellers passed leadership to a new team, which today includes Matt Higgins as Chairman of the Board and CEO, Jeremy Sons as President and COO, Logan Nadolson as Head of Human Resources and Training, Kyle Black as Director of Purchasing, and Lauren Williams as Executive Administrative Assistant. The restaurant sits on Midland Trail, about a quarter mile from Midland Trail as a main road, roughly 0.4 miles from the Shelby County Fairgrounds and UofL Health - Shelbyville Hospital, and about half a mile from Washington Street and Smithfield Road. Baptist East Urgent Care Center is approximately 0.6 miles away.
