Relish Gourmet Burgers is coming to downtown Charlottetown sometime this year.
Rivers Corbett, co-founder and president of the restaurant, said he's still in talks with a landlord in the downtown core and can't specify exactly where the new restaurant will be located.
"I don't have all the answers yet but what I do have is an excited group of people,'' Corbett said, referring the company coming to the Island capital. "We have an agreement in principle and we'll be tidying things up in the next week or so.''
Corbett wouldn't commit to an opening date just yet but said it won't be long.
"They'll be tasting the burgers at the latest by December.''
There are nearly 10 locations in Atlantic Canada with five alone in New Brunswick.
"We have an agreement in principle and we'll be tidying things up in the next week or so,'' - Rivers Corbett, co-founder and president
Asked what separates Relish Gourmet Burgers from any other burger restaurant, Corbett said it's like comparing DisneyWorld to the rides at Old Home Week.
"The food itself has been created by a gourmet chef . . . and we utilize ingredients people never even thought about combining together.''
He boasts that each location features "a very energetic atmosphere'' with prices slightly more expensive than the average McDonalds or Burger King. All products are made fresh, nothing is frozen and each location has a qualified culinary technician on staff.
