Mark Wahlberg Launching His Burger Chain In The UK
Posted on March 20, 2012 at 6:00 PM
It looks like a Marky Mark burger is making its way across the pond! Mark Wahlberg is looking to expand his successful burger chain to the UK.
The Hollywood actor, who opened up his Wahlbergers business with his brother Donnie near their hometown of Hingham, Mass., says that he is looking to bring his burgers to Great Britain and Ireland by the end of the year.
According to Bang Showbiz, Mark says:
“We do higher-end burgers. Yesterday, we sold 1,300. It’s run by my brother, Paul, who is a five-star chef. We’re opening a bunch of them in Britain and Ireland this year.”
He added:
“When I first mentioned the idea of Wahlburgers, people were like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a stupid idea.’ What they don’t realize is how talented my brother is. I would never risk putting my name out there in a way that would end up being bad. You can get people to show up because of the name but they are going to come back because they like the food. A successful burger place takes maybe $2,400 a day. A really successful one does $6,000. We’re making $17,000 a day. There are lines queuing around the corner.”
What I would like to know is: are his Wahlbergers organic?
