Burger aficionados of Wilsonville, take note – a new Burgerville location is grilling up plans to open its doors in your neck of the woods. The Pacific Northwest-based fast-food chain, heralded for its locally-sourced eats, is slated to launch its first new site in eight years at 8699 SW Robert Burns Drive, a spot that once dished out Whoppers as a former Burger King establishment.

But hold on, the beefy wave doesn't stop there. Burgerville has its eyes on a bigger patty prize, aiming to fire up additional locations over the next year and a half. The expansion hit list includes not only Wilsonville, but also Salem, Bend, and hungry mouths beyond Oregon's borders in Washington State. CEO Ed Casey declared according to KOIN, "We are excited to bring Burgerville's delicious food made with locally sourced ingredients to more Pacific Northwest communities." Wilsonville is a great place to expand, with its combination of a strong local community, and a perfect place to stop off the freeway.

The sentimental, burger-loving public can rest easy knowing that while Salem got the shove this time around, it remains a top contender for future Burgerville joy. Details emerged in a press statement on Tuesday, with the company alluding to the city's inclusion on a shortlist for impending expansions. The fast-casual chain, sporting a portfolio of 39 count-em, 39 locations, is bullish on beefing up its presence across the region in 2024 and 2025, as reported by the Statesman Journal.
