Wayback Burgers To Open Near Mall of Georgia

BUFORD, GA — Wayback Burgers has announced plans to open its fourth Georgia location near the Mall of Georgia.

The new burger joint, set to open this fall, will be at 3264 Buford Dr. in Buford.

Patterned after the old-fashioned, hometown burger joint, Wayback Burgers is a Connecticut-based fast-casual franchise.

It currently operates more than 100 locations in 26 states, as well as Argentina and Saudi Arabia.

"We are pleased to continue the expansion of the Wayback Burgers brand in Georgia with the announcement of our Buford restaurant," said John Eucalitto, president of Wayback Burgers, in a news release. "With steady debt-free growth, operations in 26 states and new locations opening at a rate of two per month, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the Wayback Burgers brand, and we wouldn’t be able to achieve this level of success without our great franchise partners."

The opening of the new restaurant is expected to create about 30 jobs.

Aside from burgers, Wayback offers crispy and grilled chicken sandwiches, veggie burgers, turkey burgers, salads and sides, including fries, onion rings, home-style chili and House-Made Chips.

The Buford location will be in a 1,600 square-foot building, featuring "a warm red barn board interior with white and stainless steel accents, modeled after the great American roadside burger joint." It also will have a patio for outdoor dining.

The Buford location joins a Lawrenceville Wayback Burgers expected to be open soon.

Currently in Georgia, there are Wayback Burgers locations in Braselton and Savannah.
