Portland, Oregon-based Killer Burger has signed a second six-unit agreement with Cascade Dining, which owns 26 Papa Johns and opened its first Killer last year in Salem, Oregon, as part of a previous six-agreement deal.
“We are excited to extend our partnership with Dave Edwards (of Cascade Dining) and his team to open six more Killer Burger units in the coming years,” John Dikos, CEO of Killer Burger, said in a company press release. “Dave and his team’s dedication to operational excellence ensures that we’re providing the ultimate burger experience that we promise each and every customer, and their recommitment to our brand demonstrates the value proposition we are able to offer franchisees. As we continue to scale our concept, we remain focused on expanding into new markets and filling out whitespace in the markets we’re currently in with incredible franchisees like Dave.”
Edwards also recently bought a company-owned Killer location in Gresham, Oregon, bringing his potential total to 13 locations.
“We were incredibly impressed with the immediate success we saw following our first opening in Salem, and are confident in our decision to extend the partnership to another six units,” Edwards said in the release. “Killer Burger is more than a great burger joint with high-quality food, it’s a truly unique experience. We were huge fans of the brand prior to partnering with John and the team, and view these agreements as a great opportunity to use our operational excellence to grow the brand and round out our franchising portfolio.”
