Burgerism, the cult burger flippers famed for serving their sandwiches out of a hole in the wall in Salford, are opening their first shop. The pick-up spot is being fitted out right now in the Stockport suburb of Gatley, in what was a former fast food outlet on the high street.
The spot will be for both pick up and used as a delivery hub too, thus able to service the South Manchester demand for the smashed burgers. The move follows setting up at Escape To Freight Island earlier this year, and also setting up a dark kitchen set-up in Ardwick last year and another in Leeds which opened this week.
It was set up by Mark Murphy in April 2018 and by word-of-mouth soon became a hit on Manchester’s food delivery scene, seeing a huge uplift during the pandemic when restaurants were closed. Now, it’s among the most used operators on Deliveroo, coming in at number eight in the whole of the UK.
