Mark Wahlberg's Burger Chain to Chicago

Famous Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg’s acclaimed Wahlburgers chain restaurant is coming to Chicago with all the fixings, according to a recent report.

The franchise that featured on the eponymous reality show A&E will now open its first location in Chicago’s River North neighborhood. The idea to open a Wahlburgers joint in the city is of a 29-year-old Schaumburg hotelier, after he ate at a different Wahlburgers location in Boston, Crain’s reports.

"Right now there's a big burger craze," Chris Patel, principal at Nexgen Hotels, told Crain’s. "There were many groups interested in becoming a franchisee for Chicago, especially with Chicago being such a big hub in the Midwest."

According to the official website of the burger joint, their menu is “chef inspired,” and boasts crispy haddock, seared chicken, fresh burgers and vegetarian options.

“Other signature items include thin crispy onion rings, tater tots and thick, creamy frappes and floats,” the website reads.

The Chicago location, which will be 4,500-square feet (but no address yet) will boast a “Chicago burger,” Crain’s reports.

According to Crain’s the River North Wahlburgers is slated to open in January of 2018

The restaurants also offer a full-service bar and gluten free options.
