ELLSWORTH, Maine, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Fuddruckers, a Texas-based heritage brand, introduced its
first location in Maine today
through a partnership with franchisee B&B Burgers, Inc.
The 3,000-square-foot, family-oriented fast casual restaurant in
Ellsworth anchors a new Tradewinds
convenience store complex on Route 1A near Ellsworth Falls.
B&B Burgers, Inc. was co-founded by Brad Holmes and Chuck
Lawrence, a longtime Fuddruckers fan, who has operated
convenience and grocery stores in the area for more than two
decades.
The sports-themed venue, which offers both indoor and patio
dining plus a number of televisions for game days, is approximately
20 miles from Acadia National Park
and offers direct access to the 85-mile Down East Sunrise Trail, a
popular recreation area for hiking, biking, horseback riding, cross
country skiing and snowmobiling. Diners also enjoy easy
access to Downeast Scenic Railroad, which offers daytrip
experiences aboard a vintage railcar.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "B&B Burgers, Inc. has
created an optimal introduction to northern New England with a
prime site and strong ties to this wonderful community, where we
are excited to establish the Fuddruckers brand."
Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world
happier, one great hamburger at a time. Grilled-to-order
burgers feature always fresh and never frozen, 100% USDA
premium-cut beef with no fillers or additives. Delicious,
sesame-topped buns are baked from scratch on-site throughout the
day to achieve the perfect combination of crisp crust and
melt-in-your-mouth texture.
And while burgers are the signature, the engaging menu offers
variety for many tastes with an array of sandwiches, platters and
salads. No matter what they choose, customers can customize
their meal with a trip to the legendary Build Your Own produce bar,
which features fantastic fixings like sun-ripened tomatoes,
lettuce, sliced onions, dill pickles, pico de gallo and classic
cheese sauce.
