FRISCO, TX (RestaurantNews.com) Smashburger, a nationally acclaimed industry-leading “better burger” restaurant and winner of the Nations Restaurant News 2009 Hot Concepts! award and the Council of Shopping Centers 2011 Hot Retailer award, will open its next Dallas location this summer in Frisco at The Shops at Starwood, located at the southwest corner of Lebanon Road and the Dallas North Tollway. Named for the cooking method used to create the perfect burger, Smashburgers are a ball of 100-percent fresh, never frozen, Certified Angus Beef smashed on a flat grill to sear in the juicy flavor. To further the “better burger” experience, Smashburgers are served on a toasted artisan bun and topped with a selection of real cheeses, the freshest produce, and top-quality condiments.
Burgers aren’t the only smash hit on the menu. Smashchicken sandwiches, Smashdogs, Smashsalads, and one-of-a-kind sides such as veggie frites and rosemary and garlic–seasoned Smashfries are other items that will tantalize your taste buds. For your sweet tooth, a large selection of made-to-order Häagen-Daz® milkshakes and root beer floats are also on the menu. Additionally, Smashbuger serves ice-cold beer and premium wines.
Joining Tye Williams as franchise partner for Smashburger’s Frisco location are Amanda and Leonard Davis and Jessica and Marc Colombo. Leonard and Marc are both linemen for the Dallas Cowboys.
“Frisco is one of the most dynamic communities in North Dallas,” says franchise partner Tye Williams. “The Shops at Starwood allows us the opportunity to set ourselves apart from the pack on Preston Road. We will focus on bringing our exceptional products, service and dining experience to a center where customers expect excellence in an upscale atmosphere, and we can deliver on that promise.”
“Smashburger’s national acclaim as the Better Burger, along with first-class franchise operators Davis, Colombo and Williams, is the perfect addition to our award-winning tenant line up and testimony to our Tenants’ success,” states Kirk Hermansen of Hermansen Land Development and developer of The Shops at Starwood. “Personally, I think they have the best burger in DFW, and I’m thrilled to have them at Starwood.”
Judge Fite Co. represented the Landlord, and Perry Jones and David Choe of The Weitzman Group represented the Tenant in the transaction.
