Zinburger Takes Over the World

Posted by Adam Borowitz on Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 12:00 PM

Zinburger, a Fox Restaurant Concepts eatery that got its start in Tucson in 2007, has signed a megadeal to open more than 20 locations across the country. Nation's Restaurant News has the story:

The Briad Group has signed a licensing agreement with Fox Restaurant Concepts for rights to develop Zinburger units in the 23 states east of the Mississippi River, the company said.

The Briad Group, based in Livingston, N.J., has one Zinburger Wine & Burger Bar in Clifton, N.J., which opened in December 2010.

Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Fox Restaurant Concepts debuted its first Zinburger restaurant in Tucson, Ariz., in December 2007. It owns and operates two additional Zinburgers in Arizona.

“With the incredible success of the Clifton location and the Fox-owned locations in Arizona, we feel Zinburger is the right concept for growth opportunities now and in the future,” Brad Honigfeld, chief executive officer of The Briad Group, said in a statement.

WOW!
Sam was also nominated for Restauranteur of the Year by James Beard awards and in spite of the fact that he's based in Scottsdale these days, this is a story of a local boy making good!
