Open a Metro Burger℠ Franchise

Ultra-Premium Gourmet Hamburgers
More Than 30 Million Possible Combinations!

If you are searching for a franchise opportunity that you can literally sink your teeth into, you owe it to yourself to consider a Metro Burger℠ franchise.

Fast-casual dining concepts are winning the battle in the restaurant industry as consumers increasingly forego "fast food" for high quality food served quickly. Simultaneously, many consumers are "trading down" from full-service dining due to economic concerns. Together this has created the perfect opportunity for Metro Burger℠.

Designed for singles, families and people on-the-go, Metro Burger℠ brilliantly closes the gap between the fast-casual and full-service burger concepts in today's marketplace. Featuring a "metro-chic" atmosphere and décor, and offering more than 30 MILLION possible burger combinations, Metro Burger℠ is positioned to take the burger industry by storm.

An American Love Affair

Americans have had a long love affair with hamburgers as evidenced by the approximately 11 billion burgers consumed in the U.S. last year. Of this number, it is projected that nearly 80% of all hamburgers are prepared and purchased outside the home. Owning a Metro Burger℠ franchise is your entrance to this US$100 billion (and growing) industry. Metro Burger℠ was designed to fill a huge niche in the industry for a truly "design it your way" ultra-gourmet fast-casual hamburger concept that can be enjoyed by all. We understand that customers have different tastes and preferences so we designed our menu to address just about everyone. And it works! Just one bite of our "made your way" gourmet burgers keep customers coming back for more!

Metro Burger℠ hamburgers are hand-patted fresh ground Angus beef seasoned with our special spices. We also serve succulent chicken, turkey and veggie burgers. All of our burgers are served with one of 16 sauces (13 are custom-made) and fresh toppings selected by the customer (such as roasted portabella mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and eight types of cheese). And that's just the beginning! Our customers also rave about our traditional and sweet potato fries and our great-tasting smoothies. For customers that appreciate an 'adult beverage' with their burger, we also serve a variety of imported and domestic beers.

Perfectly designed for inline strip malls and free-standing buildings and averaging 1,800-3,000 square feet, Metro Burger℠ is the product of our co-founder's more than 25 years of fine-dining restaurant ownership experience. This means that first and foremost, every hamburger or veggie burger served at Metro Burger℠ is an experience in taste. In fact, our Southwestern Veggie Burger was voted #1 in the non-meat category at the 2008 & 2009 National Hamburger Festival!

At Metro Burger℠, every aspect of our system has been carefully established to ensure that our franchisees operate successful, profitable businesses that positively impact their communities.

Testimonial

"American consumers take their burgers seriously. It may be one area of foodservice where they are less willing to cut back, despite the current economic environment. They expect to pay more for a higher-quality, better burger, and are willing to do so because the value proposition is heightened." - Darren Tristano, EVP at Technomic.
