Burger Station Announces 11 Million Shekel Expansion With 10 New Branches
Kosher burger chain Burger Station is investing 11 million shekels to open 10 new branches within five months, expanding its nationwide network to 28 locations and creating 200 jobs.
Kosher burger chain Burger Station has announced a major expansion plan involving the opening of eight new branches nationwide by February 2027, with a total investment estimated at 11 million shekels. These upcoming locations will add to the 20 existing branches currently operated by the company.
The new branches are scheduled to open in Ashdod, Hadar Ganim, Ofakim, Dimona, Yehud, and Or Akiva, alongside two additional locations in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, the chain has recently opened new branches at the Bahan Junction and in Beit Shemesh. Upon completion of this expansion phase, Burger Station will have added 10 new branches in under six months, bringing its nationwide footprint to 28 branches.
This current growth initiative is part of a broader two-year expansion strategy during which the company has invested a total of approximately 20 million shekels. The chain plans to sustain this growth momentum, focusing heavily on expanding its presence in peripheral cities outside the central region of the country.
According to company projections, each new branch is expected to employ approximately 20 workers, generating around 200 new direct jobs alongside indirect employment opportunities for local suppliers and service providers. A significant portion of these positions will be created in peripheral areas where several of the new branches are slated to open.
Burger Station was founded in 2019 and acquired four years ago by Shlomi Gadot and Andrey Bobrov, the current owners who bring roughly 15 years of experience in the restaurant industry. According to the company, the burgers served across all locations are prepared using kosher beef ground fresh daily at each branch.
Commenting on the expansion plan, Gadot and Bobrov stated: "The expansion of the chain is driven by demand on the ground. Customers who try our burgers in the central region ask us to open new locations closer to home, and we are happy to oblige. We also have a dynamic customer club that demonstrates high loyalty to our brand and menu."
The owners added that they view the opening of the new branches as an opportunity to boost employment in the periphery, emphasizing their intention to continue scaling the chain's operations in the coming years.
Alongside its meat-based menu, Burger Station offers various vegan options, including plant-based burgers, vegan cheese, and dairy-free desserts. Signature menu items include the classic burger, the spicy burger, and the "Smash Station" featuring two griddled patties served with vegan cheese and charred red onions.
Upon finalizing this expansion program, Burger Station will reach 28 branches across the country, marking a 40 percent increase in its branch network backed by an additional investment of 11 million shekels.
