Hello everyone, what a great year! BurgerBusters development continues to exceed all previous growth.
We are proud to announce that since the May Newsletter, we have opened 3 Conversions from Steak ‘n Shakes to Taco Bells and a new Taco Bell. On Aug 1st we opened the Hampton Conversion (Unit No. 36283), Hampton, VA, on August 21st. We then opened the Colonial Heights Conversion (Unit No. 36330), Colonial Heights, VA, following that on Sept 19th was the Lee’s Chapel (Unit No. 33184) brand new Taco Bell in Greensboro, NC and on September 25th we opened the Fredericksburg Conversion (Unit No. 36339), Fredericksburg, VA.
In addition to these exciting new stores, three more Taco Bells are in the construction process right now: Front Royal 2 (Front Royal, VA), Edenton (Edenton, NC), and Dublin (Dublin, VA).
Remodel Projects started out this year with the Great Neck Mini Remodel (Unit No. 15359), a dining room addition was completed at our Route 3 West store (Unit No. 33522) and a full successor remodel at John Tyler in Williamsburg, VA (Unit No. 15572). The remodel projects currently in progress are Stanleyville in Winston-Salem, NC (Unit No. 5241), Galax in Galax, VA (Unit No. 4796), and the Salem mid-term remodel in Salem, VA (Unit No. 34832).
We completed a couple of additional large projects this year, a walk-in freezer at Church Street in Burlington, NC (Unit No. 2066) and our exterior walk-in cooler at Harrisonburg 2 in Harrisonburg, VA (Unit No. 5288). We also have additional major cooler upgrades either under construction or starting very soon at Staunton in Staunton, VA (Unit No. 4714), Gaskins & Broad in Richmond, VA (Unit No. 5142), Denbigh in Hampton, VA (Unit No. 33517) and Route 3 West in Fredericksburg, VA (Unit No. 33522).
In addition to all the great and busy work on the above projects, we are also installing digital menu boards at many of our stores including Elkin, VA (Unit No. 28103), Front Royal, VA (Unit No. 16286), Gainesville, VA (Unit No. 21151) and Charles Town, VA (Unit No. 19010).
2020 is going to be another amazing year of growth for BurgerBusters with 9 new builds, 7 successor remodels, 5 mid-term remodels, and 3 walk-in cooler projects already planned.
Thank you to everyone for a great year of teamwork and support!
