Bareburger Plans Enormous Midtown East Burger Emporium

Bareburger's organic burger empire is growing, reports Commercial Observer. The mini-chain just inked a deal for its 17th, and largest, outlet in New York City — 5,000-square-feet in Midtown dedicated to all things burger. It will take up two floors, and occupy the space on 52nd Street that used to hold Opal Bar & Restaurant. The team signed a 15-year leas, so clearly they plan on sticking around for a while. No word on when the outlet will open, but Eater has reached out. Stay tuned. Update: Bareburger says to expect a late-spring or early-summer opening.
