Vegan fast food chain opening 1st US store
June 24, 2021
Vegan fast food burger brand, Odd Burger, is moving into Manhattan, according to a news release from its parent company, Toronto-based Odd Burger Corporation.
"We know they will have an extremely successful roll-out in Manhattan and beyond," Brandon L. Singer, CEO and founder of Retail by Mona, the real estate firm engaged to find the New York location, said in the release. "Given the increased consumer interest in plant-based meals, as well as the ongoing disruption of retail real estate, this is the perfect time for Odd Burger to enter the New York City market and make a huge splash."
The Odd Burger New York will follow the company's blueprint of compact smart kitchens optimized for rapid service, takeout and delivery, affordability and simplified employee training. Kitchens feature on-demand cooking technology, online ordering, self-checkout kiosks and cashless transactions.
"New York is the right place to introduce our vegan fast-food concept to the United States and begin our expansion," Odd Burger CEO James McInnes said in the release. "Once an appropriate site is selected and permits issued, we expect our New York Odd Burger to be operational within three months."
Odd Burger Corporation (formerly Globally Local Technologies) operates a manufacturing facility, where it creates and distributes a proprietary foodservice line of plant-based proteins and dairy alternatives, such as burgers, chickUN fillets and sausage.
