According to a recently submitted permit application, the Los Angeles-based American fast-casual concept The Stand plans to expand in the Bay Area.
The business’s co-owner, Jason Wishengrad, tells What Now San Francisco, “We have three or four other locations coming to Northern California as well.” These are in addition to The Stand’s upcoming location at 503 W Capitol Expressway in San Jose, as reported on by What Now San Francisco last week.
“We’re just beginning to expand in northern California. People seem to be absolutely loving it,” Wishengrad continues.
For readers who are unfamiliar with the concept, Wishengrad offers a brief introduction: “The Stand started 20 years ago in Los Angeles… Since then, we’ve grown the brand.” The concept now operates locations in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Bernardino, and San Diego.
He continues, “We’re a fast-casual, family-run business, and we try to offer high-quality food at a fair price point. We say that we serve American classics redefined; we offer everything familiar but with a twist.”
The menu offers creative burger options — think a buffalo chicken burger, a French onion soup burger, and a Southwest chicken burger, to name just a few — sandwiches, salads, and protein bowls when the location debuts during the first week of August.
Stay tuned for updates.
