Charlotte might be seeing a boomlet of fast-casual burger chains, as American Roadside Burgers has signed a lease for its second location in the city.
Commercial real estate firm CB Richard Ellis said Monday that the burger company has leased 3,250 square feet of restaurant space in the Park View building at Southpark, on Fairview Road. The restaurant also leased 1,500 square feet of adjacent space to use for corporate offices, said CBRE, who represented the landlord.
The new restaurant, which includes a patio facing Fairview Road, is expected to open in spring 2012.
American Roadside Burgers is based in Smithtown, N.Y., and its two Charlotte locations are a major expansion. Charlotte's first American Roadside Burgers is in the ground floor of the Ally Bank Building, uptown on Church Street.
Carolina Ale House (which has a formidable burger selection) also recently opened uptown, nearby on South College Street.
And Bad Daddy's Burger Bar has finished changing its name to remove a conflict with another Big Daddy's, and is it to expand, including opening a location at Charlotte/Douglas International.
Is the location in the Ally bank building open yet?
ReplyDeleteEnough with the burger places already! Too many steakhouses, too many burger joints. Let's have something more unique. Especially when you can't even legally order a medium burger around here.
ReplyDeleteThe Uptown location at the Ally Bank building will open October 16 and there is a Grand Opening celebration on Saturday, October 22!
ReplyDeleteSouthPark will open in early spring 2012.
10:05, there is a sushi place next door in the Ally location. Now open. Still have French Quarter and number of other places right at Latta Arcade entrance next block up. Next block back, a couple of places have opened with ground outside access in the Wells Fargo/Duke Energy building.
