They don't pitch their sales at the tourist market. Where and how they advertise is targeted at local consumers.

This has to be some kind of record for longest period without an announcement, lol, no?

Haha getting close towards it! The last time this happened was at 23 December 2015 and no announcement till 14th June 2016. Think of the savings the company makes in not having spend time on a memo for us, though gets pretty lonely if your not a burgerfuel customer, their meal promotion deals make up for it though.

hect, tourists want to taste local delights when ever possible especially under 35 year olds.

Here's a bit of company generated fluff, masquerading as a news story. Hopefully, it'll help tide you over to their next announcement.

Looks like the stores up and running and nearly ready to be opened. Burgerfuel is giving out 101 free burgers in their Indianapolis store to test out the store efficiencies.

"Today at 12 noon, yes today. We will be giving free BurgerFuel to the first 101 people that get down to the store. First in, first served. "

I think this is a very good stress test on the staff and not taking any chances of error on opening day.

"This is our 'Carb Day' (not as much alcohol) this is our chance to test the kitchen and see if the BurgerFuel engine room will break. Help us, help you, help us, help you."

Hope all this effort and investment has been worth it ... it certainly didn't work well in Australia due to competition, and I fail to see how the US market is less competitive than Australia ...

Yup if you watch this review about burgerfuel in Australia by a fairly popular youtuber who knows their food its not bad on the taste, though slaughtered on the price, which in the US would present a problem too if they price too high as there will be competitive prices everywhere for burgers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9H1hbK9NCE (Also the store looks ugly, hope the US store looks more like the NZ ones than this Australian one.

-also stale bun and no napkins! The small things really count Burgerfuel, the small things!

That rustic look of a retro brick exterior and neon sign looks alright in the day time, but much nicer at night. Certainly doesn't look as good as the NZ stores, but definitely better than the Aussie ones. Looks like they've attracted a decent crowd and seems theres some positive reviews too. So far good impression, its more the pricing that will test the crowds cause everything else seems like they are on their game.

Store is officially open now ... a bit late in the day for a market announcement but hopefully it's seen as positive
