Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers Ready to Expand on Heels of Major National Recognition

Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers offers franchising after being named one of the "Top 100 Movers and Shakers” nationwide

(Flint, MI)  Flint’s Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers has announced it is ready to grow the hot gourmet burger concept just one year after coming onto the market.  With an increase in demand and national attention, the restaurant is now offering franchises to investors and restaurateurs as they prepare for a quick expansion across Michigan and beyond.

The move comes just days after Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers was named to Fast Casual’s list of “Top 100 Movers & Shakers.”   The announcement was made at a reception held Sunday in Chicago during the National Restaurant Association’s annual food show.  Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers was ranked 12th on the nationwide list.  The ranking is in part based on innovation, food and concept design.  Aside from its name, Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers was also recognized for its superior customization options and drive-thru.

“We are extremely humbled and honored to not only be named to this prestigious list, but to rank 12th in our first year in operation” said Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers president and founder Brent Skaggs.  “This once again proves to us that we are on the right track and it allows us to bring more attention to Michigan as we prepare to expand our concept” Skaggs said.

Plans are already in the works for a second location in Michigan.  Details are expected to be released this summer.

In November 2012, Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers was named one of the “Top New Burger Joints of 2012” in North America by BurgerBusiness, a national business publication.  “We are thrilled about the excitement all of this attention is generating for our concept” Skaggs said, “and the response we are receiving from people who are interested in franchising.”

Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers opened on May 21st, 2012 in Flint, Michigan. The fast-casual gourmet burger concept is the first location for Michigan based restaurant group Spartan Pastabilities, which also owns Harvey’s Grill and Bar & Hayden’s Grill and Bar.

Our Freakin' Philosophy:



Serve the most FREAKIN' UNBELIEVABLE BURGERS
you've ever had, or give you the ingredients to build your own.

We're not even going to keep it a secret.


HERE'S HOW WE DO IT:

CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF®:CertBeefLogo
See that logo? Know what it means? It means your burger can only be made with the top 8% of the beef cut. We're not throwin' in spare parts.

Not only do we use the best beef, we have our own grind. Not a meat expert? That means our beef is ground to our specifications to give you the most flavor. You're not going to find that down the street.

COOKED TO ORDER:
We're not sure why everyone doesn't do it?

BRIOCHE BUN: (bree-ohsh, French)
You've gotta have a bun that can stand up to that kind of beef, and from what we hear, the French know their stuff.

BYOB:
We're not offended if you build your own. In fact, we're interested in what you're building. We're obsessed with burgers and so are our guests; that's why we provide you with everything from Gouda to roasted red onion jam.

LISTEN:
Got a burger you think will make us freak? Submit your ideas on our website and it might just be selected as our burger of the month.

c) = 3 points

10 points
You have refined sensibilities, love the finer things in life and shop at Tiffany's.
You would love the Uppercrust burger with the portabella mushroom side paired with a cabernet
wine. Be careful not to get stuck in a rut, there are other burgers on our menu that you would love
too.

11-15 points
You are adventurous, a go getter, voted most likely to succeed in high school.
The Fusion burger is just your style, you are not afraid to be the first to try something new, and
may we suggest a Michigan craft beer and a side of fries with 3 sauces for dipping.

16-20 points
No pain no gain, you work hard and play hard. You light up the room and always make an entrance.
Passionate intellectual discussions are your forte.
We suggest the Fire burger, with a side of Jalapeno poppers, and to cool you off how about a large
glass of water………cause you're going to need it!

21-25 points
You are a special person, loved by everyone. You know all the words to every song, and have won
over a crowd with your karaoke skills.
Try our Drunken Mushroom burger, because like you the mushrooms are more fun after drinking.
Everything goes great with our sweet potato fries, they taste like dessert, and since the mushrooms
have already been drinking, we would suggest a tall mellow yellow to wash it all down.

26-30 points
You are a traditionalist, you are classic, you know what you like and you are not afraid to show it,
you're sexy and you know it.
You have J Crew catalogs in your bathroom and even your underwear has your monogram.
The Freakin' burger is a classic made a little more special with our secret Freakin' sauce. A side of fries
and an icy cold Classic Coke are just what you need.

Freakin' Franchise:

So… you wanna Freakin’ Franchise?


We’re not going to be shy about it, our burgers are Freakin’ Unbelievable and so is our concept.

The Freakin’ Story

Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers is an explosive fast casual concept that is raising the bar and lowering prices for diners who just want a truly better burger. It’s really that simple.

Designed based on the shortcomings and lack of options from the “other guys,” Freakin’ is “smashing” the competition and setting the industry up for a new game. Shortly after coming onto the market in 2012, Freakin’ was named one of the “Top New Burger Joints” in North America by BurgerBusiness.com and was ranked among the “Top 25 Movers and Shakers” by FastCasual.com.

Why Freakin’?

It’s all in the attitude:

It’s just plain fun being freakin’ unbelievable. With a hint of edginess and a dash of fun, we’re proving to our guests that we’re not out to change the world; we just want to build a better burger. We think they appreciate that.

Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers:

First and foremost, our burgers are Freakin’ Unbelievable. There really is no other way to explain it. In fact, when Freakin’s creators were dreaming up the concept and taste-testing burgers, the first words to burst from a full mouth, were: “This is Freakin’ Unbelievable!” True. Story.

Every Freakin’ Unbelievable Burger is made with Certified Angus Beef, meaning our burgers are only made with the top 8% of the beef cut. No spare parts here. Do we even need to say they are fresh never frozen? Not only do we use the best beef, we have our own grind. That means our meat is ground to our specifications. We’re also not shutting the door on vegetarian diners or diners who want to “pick their protein.” We give our guests the option of using grilled chicken, our immensely popular grilled turkey or even grilled or deep-fried Portobello to build their perfect burger.

Customization:

Customization is where Freakin’ really becomes unbelievable. With more than a dozen specialty, chef-inspired burgers and 44 gourmet BYOB toppings (yes, we said forty-four), we give our guests more options than any other burger concept out there. (This is the part where we smash the competition, you know… those other guys.)

The customization and chef-inspired dishes don’t end with our burgers. Freakin’ also offers hand battered chicken tenders, unique sides, salads, a large selection of craft beer, wine, frozen drinks and frozen custard. Mmmm, custard!

Atmosphere:

We believe that our guests should enjoy a fast casual atmosphere with an upscale twist. Freakin’s atmosphere was specifically created to add to the enjoyment of dining with us. You won’t find hospital-white walls, cold tile or harsh lighting here. We’ve put an extraordinary amount of attention into the design, feel and look of Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers.

Our restaurants feature monochromatic color schemes with intricate tile work, modern industrial signage and unique lighting. This sophisticated and contemporary design compliments the all around relaxing, upscale experience we want our guests to leave with.
