Testimonials

"After making the decision to open 10 BurgerFi restaurants, it is clear that I am a strong believer in the positive risk-reward balance of the brand. I continue to see a young, ambitious, and dynamic organization that has demonstrated strong resilience in challenging times, and an enormous capacity to adapt and evolve as it continues to grow."
 
Manuel Sanchez
Multi-Unit Owner

 “I was introduced to BurgerFi during my time in South Florida playing for the Miami Heat, and immediately saw the brand’s immense potential. From the unique product that appeals to a wide consumer demographic to the outstanding internal support team, BurgerFi is a one-of-a-kind franchise opportunity and we’re thrilled to be a part of the team.”
 
Mike Miller
Former Miami Heat Player
Multi-Unit Owner

"I fell in love from the beginning. I'm in my store 7 days a week. I get customers coming to me every day and tell me that it's the best burger they've ever had in their life. It makes me really believe why I got into this from the beginning. It's just a beautiful thing when people appreciate what you do."
 
Larry Higgins
Owner/Operator

“My brothers and I signed on as BurgerFi’s first Franchisee in 2011 and opened our first location in 2012. When we opened our first location, there were only 3 stores in the system. We saw the major potential of where this brand could go from the beginning due to its high-quality products, marketability of the product, and overall customer experience. Fast forward to today, BurgerFi is a major leader in the industry. Our franchise team is excited to have the opportunity to be a part of the significant growth and to be a member of the BurgerFi family for years to come.”
