TORONTO, ONTARIO (MAY 15, 2014) –South St. Burger, a New York Fries company, today opened its first premium burger restaurant serving Southwestern Ontario in the Boardwalk at Ira Needles in Kitchener-Waterloo. Known for its top quality, charbroiled burgers, South St. Burger is focused on its growth strategy, with the new restaurant marking the 21st location in the province.
The opening comes on the heels of South St. Burger’s second location in Dubai, UAE, bringing the total number of restaurants to 26 worldwide. Seven more are planned for 2014, including new locations in Ottawa, Markham, Vaughan, three in Toronto, and one in Dubai.
“Growing South St. Burger in new Ontario markets is our priority, and the timing is right. The discerning Ira Needles shoppers are a great fit for our concept,” says Jay Gould, president and founder, New York Fries and South St. Burger.
“We are committed to providing a premium experience for our customers. From our conscientiously farmed beef, raised without added hormones, antibiotics or additives, to our selection of gourmet toppings, fresh cut fries and homemade onion rings, we have significantly raised the bar in this category. We believe people’s desire to eat real, more natural, food is consistent with what we do at South St.”
