Israeli-born burger concept Burgerim – which offers customized burgers with patties of wagyu beef, lamb, or salmon – is coming to Arizona, and two of the first locations will be in the East Valley.
Locations currently are under construction on the northeast corner of the Santan Freeway and Gilbert in Gilbert and the northeast corner of Broadway and Roosevelt in west Tempe.
A third location is being built in Peoria. No opening dates have been announced yet.
Burgerim sells 3-ounce patties – larger than a slider but smaller than a typical burger – in a choice of beef, dry-aged beef, wagyu beef, merguez (spicy beef), turkey, chicken, chiro, salmon, or veggie.
Diners can further customize with two different buns, seven different toppings, and nine different sauces.
Other menu items include salads, chicken wings, circular fries, and onion rings.
Burgerim debuted in Tel Aviv in 2011 but is now based in California, where an ambitious U.S. expansion plan is opening 150 locations in that state alone.
It’s also opening 70 locations in Texas, 42 in Florida, and dozens more in other states.
