A fast‑food burger chain announced plans to add locations in three additional states, citing growth opportunities beyond its West Coast base. The company president disclosed the intention during a regional interview, and Inc.com noted that one portion of the United States remains off‑limits to the brand.
Fox News reported the executive’s comments, while the New York Post framed the move as an eastward burger blitz. The proposal now sits in the strategic planning phase, with the chain evaluating site selections and regulatory approvals.
ABC7 Los Angeles confirmed the expansion is still under review, and industry observers expect the new outlets to gradually roll out later this year if conditions permit.
