Wahlburgers Restaurant to Break Ground Friday in St. Charles

ST. CHARLES, IL — St. Charles is about to get a new spot on the block for burgers. International Executive Chef Paul Wahlberg and superstar brothers Mark and Donnie Wahlberg are bringing Wahlburgers to St. Charles. On March 22, Mayor Raymond Rogina and Donnie Wahlberg will break ground at the new Wahlburgers spot, in the southwest corner of Route 38 and Randall Road in the Meijer lot, according to a release.

The brothers' burger business concept, founded in Hingham, Massachusetts in 2011, is the center of an A&E reality show of the same name, and offers a "fun, casual music filled atmosphere where guests, like family, share great food, a few laughs and lots of love," according to a release sent to Patch.

Throughout the restaurant's 30 locations in North America, guests enjoy delicious fresh ground beef burgers, signature sandwiches, and other items including crispy fries, onion rings, tater tots, salads, specialty frappes, beer and cocktails. In addition, Wahlburgers launched an at-home retail beef product last year, which is sold in hundreds of stores throughout the U.S., according to a release.

"We are so excited to bring Wahlburgers to St. Charles,” said Donnie Wahlberg, in a release. “It’s been a dream of mine to open a Wahlburgers in the community that Jenny and I have chosen to raise our family in. There is no better way to repay the people of St. Charles for welcoming us with open arms than to give back."

The groundbreaking will take place at 10 a.m. that Friday morning.

“We are thrilled that Wahlburgers chose to come to St. Charles,” said St. Charles Mayor Raymond Rogina, in a release. “We look forward to hosting their successful restaurant concept in our town.”
