Square 1 Burgers to Replace Old Chicago Pizza in Brandon in June

This June, the burgers and beer franchise known as Square 1 Burgers & Bar will move into a Brandon location that not too long ago was known for its specialty pizza.

Taking over the location in the Brandon Crossroads shopping center is another step toward Square 1's plans for growth in 2012, a year in which they plan on unveiling a fourth store in Fort Myers this April before unveiling No. 5 in Brandon this summer. They already have locations in Tampa and Sarasota.

"Brandon is the next logical place for this company to be in," Square 1 Vice President of Operations Bill Milner said. "It's a high traffic, business friendly area with great demographics. I think it's going to be a strong area for us."

Old Chicago , one of several high profile tenants to vacate Brandon Crossings.

Square 1 serves gourmet burgers of all different types. From vegetarian options to buffalo burgers, spicy beer cheese soup to fried dill pickle chips, there is a wide variety of options other than just beef patties and cheddar cheese on an onion bun.

"Our burgers are all natural," Milner said. "We're going to bring a high quality product wherever we go, and we have options for everybody from vegans to those with a taste for unusual burgers. We have a great bar too, so people will want to come in for happy hour."

The price of the food is reasonable at the $6-$9 range for appetizers and $9-$15 range for sandwiches.

The Brandon Sqare 1 will be located at 2042 Badlands Dr.
