The man behind food franchising businesses such as Abrakebabra, Bagel Factory and Yo Sushi in Ireland has bought the Irish franchise rights to Gourmet Burger Kitchen,  an UK burger franchise business and plans open six restaurants this year alone at an expected cost of 5 million euro. A total of 30 franchises are planed for Ireland and Northern Ireland. The first Irish business will open in Belfast next month, while others are planned this year for Dublin.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen franchise concept was developed by three New Zealanders living in the UK who missed the gourmet burgers from back home. The restaurants show that burgers need not be just a fast-food, food on the go product but can be a nutritious and sophisticated meal cooked with the best and freshest ingredients available.
