BURGERFI has announced its first international development agreement. In a deal with EFIT SA DE CV, 40 restaurants are planned for Mexico City and the surrounding areas over the next five to seven years, generating approximately 1,000 jobs. The first international location is slated to open in the Fall of 2015.  

According to Corey Winograd, Chief Executive Officer, "BURGERFI fits a food culture that translates beyond international borders. Customers everywhere are holding restaurants to higher quality standards. They want clean, natural food. They want to dine in a restaurant that reflects their own values, such as sustainability, low energy costs and recycling programs. This is where the future of the burger business is headed, both in America and abroad."

As to growing the BURGERFI brand beyond the borders of the United States, Winograd said that the timing of international expansion was an important consideration. "We have established a reputation for strategic growth, and believe that the EFIT SA DE CV team has the genuine passion, industry experience and deep infrastructure to be our first partner to expand BURGERFI's presence internationally.”
