Want a beer with that Whopper?
Coming early next year to the Power & Light District, one of Burger King's new Whopper Bars. It will open in the former Chefburger space at 1350 Walnut St.
Burger King rolled out this new ‘Whopper and beer’ concept in March 2009 at Universal CityWalk in Orlando. It later added locations in Miami’s South Beach area, the University of Memphis, and New York City, as well as locations in Singapore and Venezuela.
Chain Store Age magazine honored The Whopper Bar with its “2009 Retail Store of the Year” award in the casual dining segment.
The operations feature a hip, ‘bar like’ design with a red/black/gray color scheme.
Kansas City’s Whopper Bar will probably serve Miller, Bud and hometown Boulevard Brewing Co. beers.
Customers also can order a Whopper, Double Whopper or Steakhouse XT. And they can really ‘have it their way’ with more than 20 different toppings to choose from.
Chefburger, which opened in early 2008, closed earlier this month. The owners hope to relocate.
