Everything's coming up burgers: The Counter headed to Philly

Yo, the burger chains LOVE US. We got Johnny Rocket's. We got Five Guys. We got Goodburger. Wynnewood just got Elevation Burger, and many more are on their way to the region. Now, we've confirmed that The Counter, the six-year-old Cali-based burger brand that boasts the most customizable menu we've ever seen (more than 300,000 possible burger varieties are possible! plus ... booze!) is hunting for a spot in our already-patty-crazed city.

"We have a franchisee established for the Philadelphia market and are actively looking for the right real estate opportunity to bring The Counter to [the] market," rep Brian Berman tells Meal Ticket. "Although we do not have a location determined or a timeframe for opening, we are very bullish on the market and looking forward to bringing Custom Built Burgers to Philly."

Shoutout to Alex Hillman of IndyHall, whose Twitter feed tipped us off to this.

Awesome !  These are superb burger restaurants.  There is also Sketch Burger in Fishtown and PYT (Pick Your Toppings) in Northern Liberties at the Piazza that just opened up.  Philadelphia has turned into one of the best cities for burgers !  



As far as locations, The Counter will have plenty of options.
