Burger Monger Bringing First Drive-Through Concept to South Pasadena

SOUTH PASADENA, FL — Burger Monger is opening its first drive-through location at 1530 Pasadena Avenue South, South Pasadena, FL 33707, with a soft opening planned for May 12 and a grand opening scheduled for May 18.

Director of Operations Lisa Deptula told Business Debut the South Pasadena restaurant is a corporate-owned Burger Monger location led by brand owners and franchisors Akram Shinouda and Emad Hanna, with Area Director Glen Hudson helping lead the opening.

What to Expect

Burger Monger has been based in the Tampa Bay area since 2010, when the brand opened its first location in Carrollwood, Deptula told Business Debut. The South Pasadena restaurant will be the brand’s first location with a drive-through.

Guests can expect a counter-service setup with staff bringing food to the table. The location will seat about 90 guests and will have some outdoor seating, Deptula told Business Debut.

Burger Monger currently has both corporate-owned and franchise locations in the Tampa Bay area, with additional growth planned in Florida, Deptula told Business Debut. She said the company is targeting a Palm Harbor opening in June, followed by a Fort Myers location a few months later.

Menu and Vision

Burger Monger focuses on build-your-own burgers with a range of toppings, along with signature burgers, fries, hand-spun shakes, dirty sodas, Philly sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, melts, salads, Impossible Burgers and black bean patties.
