Roam Artisan Burgers opens 6th unit

February 28, 2019

Roam Artisan Burgers, based in San Francisco, opened its sixth unit earlier this month. Located at City Center Bishop Ranch in the Tri-Valley region serving the greater East Bay cities of San Ramon, Danville, Alamo and Dublin/Pleasanton, Roam is the latest brand to open at the $300 million retail center.

"Roam's mission is to enhance people's lives through better eating by serving delicious food that is made with nutrient-rich, high-quality ingredients," Josh Spiegelman, Roam co-owner, said in a company press release.

Co-owner Lynn Gorfinkle agreed, saying that both were "thrilled to support and promote local farmers, ranchers and artisans that positively contribute to the health of the planet."

Established in 2010, Roam has a sustainability focused model where more than 80 percent of its materials are compostable. Its 100 percent grass-fed beef and nutrient-rich are procured from ranchers and farmers dedicated to traditional methods of agriculture, and it exclusively serves proteins humanely raised on open pastures, according to the release.
 
The chain also has state-of-the-art recycling and composting programs that divert waste from landfills with food scraps and packaging composted and converted into fertilizer, which is used to grow more food. Roam's expeller pressed high-oleic sunflower oil used for cooking fries helps fuel San Francisco's hybrid Muni buses.
