Portland-based Killer Burger is opening in Vancouver, Washington, under the direction of franchisee Nate Barile.

Located at 14321 NE Fourth Plain Blvd., in the Evergreen Crossing shopping center, the restaurant marks the brand's 18th location as well as Barile's second Killer Burger restaurant, with his first opening in 2020 in Hazel Dell in Vancouver. Barile's career with Killer Burger, however, began in 2016 when he started as a general manager before becoming a training manager, then a district manager and eventually a franchising coordinator.

"When the opportunity to become a franchisee with Killer Burger arose, I knew it would be a great next step in my career and grow alongside the brand," Barile said in a company press release. "I believe in this brand and the top-notch food and leadership team take it to the next level. It's exciting to know that even more Vancouver residents will get the chance to finally experience Killer Burger and become lifelong fans."

As with all Killer Burger locations, the restaurant will offer customers a mix of classic and original tastes, as well as locally sourced craft beers and ciders.

"Expanding with our existing operators such as Nate is key to building the strong foundation needed for Killer Burger to grow," John Dikos, CEO of Killer Burger, said in the release. "We are excited to launch our third Vancouver location and continue to expand the brand with passionate franchisees, both existing and new."
