First U.S. Location for Global Franchise to Open in September
CaliBurger, the fast-growing international restaurant franchise, announced today they will open their first U.S. store in Seattle, Washington, at the end of this month. The restaurant, which is a 21st century revival of the classic California burger joint, will be located in the bustling University District, located at 4509 University Way NE.
“We identified Seattle as an ideal location for our first CaliBurger location in the U.S.,” said John Miller, co-founder and chairman of CaliBurger. “Seattleites know good food and appreciate value. We recognized that the University District is a perfect location for us in Seattle. After opening in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, we’re excited to finally share the CaliBurger experience with the U.S. market – we know that guests will really enjoy what we have been sharing with the rest of the world.”
CaliBurger not only allows visitors to play a selection of video games like Minecraft, but the Seattle location will include features like wireless charging stations and an interactive video wall. The menu consists of fresh, affordable burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries and handspun milkshakes. If you’re 21+, make that shake boozy. A selection of local craft beers will be available on draught, along with a rotating offering of Washington State wines and the immensely popular Stumptown Cold Brew Coffee.CaliBurger was founded in Santa Monica, California, to bring California-style burgers and an interactive burger experience to the world. The company now has restaurants open or under construction in 12 countries. In May 2015, CaliBurger was designated by Bloomberg as one of the best classic burgers in the finance capitals of the world.Regular hours of the Seattle location will be Sunday – Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Thursday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 2 a.m.
