Arlington, VA, March 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Elevation Burger, an organic hamburger restaurant recognized as one of the most innovative burger chains in the country serving only 100% USDA-certified organic, 100% grass-fed, 100% free-range beef burgers freshly ground on-premises and fresh-cut French fries cooked in heart-healthy 100% olive oil, was ranked in the Top 100 Movers & Shakers for 2009 by FastCasual.com, a leading industry trade publication.
“Ingredients Matter” is not just Elevation Burger’s slogan, but also a reflection of the company’s constant focus on offering quality food that makes a difference both to the consumer and the environment. Elevation Burger’s warm and welcoming restaurants are environmentally friendly, using renewable, non-polluting materials and surfaces including bamboo flooring, compressed sorghum tabletops and low - or no- VOC paints and sealants. The franchised chain prides itself on an “elevated” experience and an organic/fresh approach that puts people and product ahead of profit.
“This industry recognition is greatly appreciated. It asserts the fact that we have the right mix of ingredients to continue as a leader in the better burger category,” said Hans Hess, founder and CEO of Elevation Burger. “The appraisal from industry peers also puts us in a great position to continue our aggressive expansion in 2010.”
The six-unit chain has quickly expanded since opening its first location in 2005. Thirteen franchise groups have committed to opening over 60 units in new and existing markets including Dallas, Florida, metropolitan New York and metropolitan Washington, D.C. Each has signed development agreements to open between three and five units over the next five years.
Elevation Burger expects to have a total of 15 to 20 restaurants (three company-owned) operating by the end of 2010. At its current growth rate, Elevation Burger expects to have 100 locations nationwide by the end of 2013. International locations are also on the horizon, with five restaurants set to open in Kuwait.
