0:00What a burger fans in the triangle can finally celebrate. The Texas burger chain opened its first location there on March 26th in Wake Forest. It's a double drive through building at Grove 98, right across from Wegmans. The chain has been expanding across North Carolina since its debut near Charlotte about a year ago. Now there are a dozen spots statewide, with this one kicking off the triangle push after years of local excitement. People have been hyped for what a burger is big, made to order burgers, and signature sauces like jalapeno ranch. The brand aims to build real ties in the community by backing schools and local groups. Just two weeks later, on April 9th, a rally site opens at 501-6 forks road. Officials expect at least two more this year, including spots in Raleigh and Garner. For now, the Wake Forest restaurant runs from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily, bringing that classic roadside flavor right to the neighborhood as more. Locations roll out. That's your update from Durham News Today, powered by AI.
1:01I'm Corey, with the story.
