A burger chain with an existing Triangle presence is opening a new location in the area — but this one is different from every other in the country.
BurgerFi has three restaurants in North Carolina, all in the Triangle: at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, in Raleigh’s Midtown area near Wegmans, and in Cary.
The fourth restaurant, which will celebrate its grand opening soon, will be in northern Wake County, in the Wakefield Commons shopping center near Capital Boulevard and Falls of Neuse Road.
Set to open Thursday, Jan. 15, the new BurgerFi is the third location under franchise owner Andy Rooney.
It’s the company’s first with a drive-thru, and among the first to serve breakfast, according to a news release.
Here’s what to know about the new BurgerFi.
