The "better burger" concept BurgerFi is continuing its Philadelphia expansion with the opening of its first on-campus college location through a franchise agreement with Aramark.
BurgerFi, established in 2011, first launched in the Philadelphia market in February 2014 across the Pennsylvania Convention Center and the Reading Terminal Market. It's located next to the Panera Bread.
BurgerFi's name was meant to reflect the company's involvement in the “better burger movement," according to the company, using Angus beef and higher quality ingredients.
Three years later, the chain will open its next Philadelphia outpost in Temple University's newly renovated Howard Gittis Student Center food court. BurgerFi signed a franchise agreement with Aramark, which will operate the location, the casual burger company recently announced.
The Temple University location will be BurgerFi's first on-campus college location, according to the company, which has set an opening date of August 2017.
