Burger 21 plans westward expansion

April 24, 2013

Burger 21 announced its plans to expand westward with Dallas targeted for future franchise development. The Tampa, Fla.-based concept plans to develop approximately 20 or more restaurants in that market.

To date, Burger 21 has six restaurants open in Florida and 18 franchised locations in development along the East Coast.

"We've seen a strong interest in our brand in Dallas, as well as surrounding cities, and we're now looking for dedicated franchisees to help us bring Burger 21's crafted burgers and hand-dipped shakes to Texas," said Mark Johnston, Burger 21 president and chief concept officer and president of parent company Front Burner Brands.

To further fuel Burger 21's national expansion, the company is actively seeking qualified franchisees and will be exhibiting at The National Franchise and Business Opportunities Expo May 18-19 at the Dallas Market Hall. Local entrepreneurs are invited to meet with the brand's franchise development team at Booth #208 to learn more about growth opportunities.

Additionally, Burger 21 will host a live webinar on May 2 at 2 p.m. EDT to drive national expansion. More information is available at burger21franchise.com/events.aspx or by contacting Ashley Pollard, franchise development associate for Burger 21, at 813-425-6252 or apollard@burger21.com.
