Fatburger Set To Open At Cherry Hill Mall

CHERRY HILL, NJ — You’re going to need two hands to wrap your hands around this one: Fatburger is set to open a New Jersey location.

Signage for the hamburger chain that boasts its burgers are a meal unto themselves is set up at the Cherry Hill Mall, near Seasons 52 and Bahama Breeze. A sign on the door said the chain is hiring shift leaders and team members.

Fatburger will open at the Cherry Hill Mall by June 24, nj.com reports. It will be the first New Jersey location since it shut down at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City several years ago.

The franchise started off as “Mr. Fatburger” in Los Angeles back in 1947, according to the company’s website. Its founder, Lovie Yancy, said she “wanted to get across the idea of a big burger with everything on it … a meal in itself.” In 1952, she dropped the “Mr.” from the name, and in 1990, franchising of the chain began. It opened in Dubai and China in 2005.

It is currently set up in six states, with 74 total locations. Forty-nine of those locations are in California.

According to its menu, the original Fatburger weighs in at ⅓ of a pound, while the Triple King weighs in at 1.5 pounds. In all, there are five different sizes of burgers. They also serve up veggie burgers, skinny burgers, turkey burgers, fries, wings, dessert and a kids menu. There’s also the Impossible Burger.

Fatburger will be open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to the Cherry Hill Mall’s website.
