According to recent reporting in JDR, a growing burger chain is soon coming to the area.
The newest location of Habit Burger & Grill site will be found at River City Marketplace next to BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse at 15022 Max Leggett Parkway.
The municipal utility JEA is reportedly reviewing a service availability determination request which was submitted on April 25 for a 2,063-square-foot building with a mobile pickup lane on a 0.8-acre site owned by BJ’s Restaurant, per the report.
The report adds that the restaurant will feature thirty seats and a drive-thru lane that “can stack at least 10 vehicles.” In addition, there will be surface parking for 27 vehicles.
Founded in Santa Barbara, California, in 1969, Habit Burger Grill is a fast-casual chain owned by Taco Bell/Pizza Hut parent company Yum Brands, which purchased Habit for $375 million in March 2020, according to news reports.
The concept serves up chargrilled-style burgers alongside a California cuisine-influenced menu.
Habit operates 12 Florida locations and more than 300 restaurant across 14 states and international borders.
I love Habit burgers, grew up going to the original “Goleta” founding Hamburger Habit in 1969+. They had director chairs to sit in while you wait for your order and they used to put a delicious meat sauce on the patty which separated them from all other burger joints, I miss that. The original Habit is still in operation on Hollister Ave., brings back so many memories. Good luck with your new opening!
