During the past year, Elevation Burger has more than doubled its number of locations in the U.S. and rolled out its first international franchises. Founders Hans and April Hess, whose Elevation Franchise Ventures LLC began offering franchises in 2008, report they have commitments to open more than 60 locations in existing markets as well as Dallas, New York and Washington, D.C, along with at least five in Kuwait. Their goal is to have almost 100 locations within the next few years to serve their 100 percent grass-fed, organic and house-ground beef, non-processed cheese, fresh-cut fries and hand-scooped shakes and malts.
