Bagger Dave’s Legendary Burger Tavern, a unique, full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar, will celebrate its grand opening at 6520 Telegraph Rd. in Bloomfield Hills on Sunday, Oct. 14.
“We’re looking forward to sharing the Bagger Dave’s experience with the wonderful community of Bloomfield Hills,” said Michael Ansley, president and CEO of Bagger Dave’s. “We hope to have everyone from the area come by and join us for the grand opening celebration, where we’ll be serving up our famous burgers, local craft beers and all the delicious signature menu items that Bagger Dave’s is known for.”
The Bloomfield Hills location will be the ninth Bagger Dave’s in Michigan, the tenth restaurant will open later this month in Holland. Other locations in Michigan include Ann Arbor, Berkley, Brighton, East Lansing, Grand Rapids, Grandville and Novi.

In addition to the Michigan locations, the first franchised restaurant opened in June in Cape Girardeau, Mo., which was the first Bagger Dave’s to open outside the state. The franchise agreement includes a total of six locations set to open over the next five years in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee. A total of up to 24 new locations—either corporately-owned or franchised—are expected to open over the next five years.
With restaurant industry sales expected to reach $632 billion this year, according to the National Restaurant Association’s 2012 forecast, and new competition popping up every day, Bagger Dave’s has identified a niche in the burger business with a modern interpretation of the old-fashioned neighborhood bar. The restaurants feature full table service and a bar and are inviting for adults and kids alike, with localized décor of the town’s historical past displayed throughout and even an electric train that runs above the dining room and bar areas.
