The arrival of another burger option in Mentor is just around the corner.
BurgerFi will open at 8748 Mentor Ave. on July 30, a company representative confirmed.
The Florida-based franchise will offer burgers, hot dogs, micro brews and frozen custard.
The property, which is owned by nearby World of Wines, has been vacant for a few years since Little Mountain Farmer's Market left. Mentor Economic Development Director Ron Traub previously referred to BurgerFi as "an intriguing use and a unique concept to utilize the building."
The company plans on spending $1 million on the location. It expects to hire 50 employees with a payroll that will reach $460,000 by next year.
BurgerFi has nearly 50 locations across the country. Check out the franchise's menu by clicking here.
