GREER — A California-born fast casual burger chain is coming to Greer in 2023.
The Habit Burger Grill — a restaurant known for burgers chargrilled over an open flame — will be one of three businesses on a 1.69-acre site along West Wade Hampton Boulevard, positioned between a dentist's office and an Aldi with a Dunkin' Donuts, Popeyes and Andy's Frozen Custard across the street.
One of the other buildings on the site has been leased by fast casual Mexican restaurant Chipotle. The third space has yet to be leased but there has been a lot of interest in it, Langston-Black Real Estate agent Brad Toy told The Post and Courier.
There are over 350 locations of The Habit Burger Grill across the world with most being located in California. The Greer eatery will be the second in South Carolina. The first opened in October 2019 in Indian Land, S.C., a town close to the North Carolina border east of Fort Mill.
The Greer location at 1126 W. Wade Hampton Blvd. will be an equity-owned and operated store. It will be in a standalone building with a drive-through. It is expected to open in the second quarter in 2023.
The Habit Burger Grill started in Santa Barbra, Calif. in 1969. It serves burgers, grilled tenderloin steak and grilled chicken sandwiches among other foods.
