BurgerFi is hunting for franchisees in the Washington D.C. area, specificially in Montgomery County, Maryland and Fairfax County, Virginia. The company is hoping to bolster growth in the region, according to a press release. The fast casual burger concept already has five units near D.C. and expects to end this year with 24 U.S. openings and four international restaurants.

"Consumers today are looking for brands they can trust, and our commitment to sustainability and complete transparency when it comes to our ingredients has placed BurgerFi at the forefront of the 'better burger' segment, as well as enabled us to surpass our established competitors in terms of growth in just five years," Corey Winograd, CEO of BurgerFi, said in the release. "Due to our success in the region, we've identified the greater D.C. metro area as a key market with tremendous potential to catapult our presence through franchise development. We are eager to welcome new franchisees to the growing BurgerFi family, and look forward to connecting with qualified candidates in the area who share our passion for providing a truly exceptional product and experience."
