<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''George L. "Buck" Backus''' (died 1986) was the founder of [[Buck’s Pizza]], which is named after him.<br />
<br />
Backus came to Madison from Racine, where he had managed the Meadowbrook Country Club, and opened Buck's on Cottage Grove Road in 1960. He later added a second store on the West Side, in Midvale Plaza<ref name="mc-2010-06-08-moe-bucks">Moe, D. (2010, June 8).

<br />
In March 1962 he was hired to manage concessions for the University of Wisconsin "W" Club, and he stayed for 22 years<ref name="mc-2010-06-08-moe-bucks" />.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The recipes at Buck's are credited to him, and he is pictured in its logo, wearing an apron and a necktie<ref name="mc-2016-03-15-bucks-chiefs">Krug, E. (2016, March 15).

* Many people assume that the name Buck's comes from Bill Buchholz, who owned the business from 1991 to 2010<ref name="mc-2010-06-08-moe-bucks" />.<br />
