The aptly named Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers recently announced its expansion plans, including a new 6,650-square-foot restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating – not to mention 50 flat-screen TVs and a roughly 40-foot long bar – at the former Verrado Community Welcome Center in Buckeye, set to open mid-2023.
In a statement provided to What Now Phoenix, founder and CEO of Square One Concepts, Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers’ parent company, S. Barrett Rinzler said, “We are looking forward to contributing to the growth of Buckeye with our quality burgers and beer. This space is very special as its original design was for the former Verrado Community Welcome Center. The structure of this space is unique compared to our other locations. We are excited to serve this part of the metro area and especially in this outstanding community.”
The Buckeye location is just the beginning for this rapidly expanding homegrown brand, which plans to open additional spots in Maricopa and Oro Valley next year, as well as another in Surprise in 2024, ultimately bringing its portfolio to some 16 locations.
According to the official press release, “Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers first distinguished itself in 2011, when it opened in the Grayhawk neighborhood of North Scottsdale, delivering flavorful food from a scratch kitchen, featuring its half-pound burgers, hand-formed, made-to-order from fresh, never frozen ground chuck.”
With numerous accolades to its name, Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers’ award-winning menu items include the classic All-American, a savory Bacon Bleu, the Tex-Mex inspired Rocky Point, and sizzling Ring of Fire, with plenty of sides and, of course, cold beers to boot.
