Wondering what’s happening at the shuttered Burgerville restaurant near Vancouver Mall? Fear not, the storefront will not sit empty. Habit Burger & Grill is moving in.
The Santa Barbara, Calif., burger joint is set to open in late spring or early summer at 8320 N.E. Vancouver Plaza Drive, according to the company.
Habit operates nearly 400 restaurants around the country. Fourteen others are in Washington, mostly around Puget Sound. This will be the first location in the Portland metro area.
Habit, launched in 1969 but purchased by Yum! Brands in 2020, specializes in chargrilled burgers and sandwiches. Yum! Brands also owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.
