Franchise Information

If you think you've got what it takes to open a restaurant, then why not just open your own place?  The sad truth is, more than half of new restaurants and bars fail within the first few years.  A great idea does not guarantee success, and many people lack the business experience and resources to see their vision through. 

Whether you're looking to convert an existing operation or starting from scratch, you can rely on our experience to help you get your Hamburger Mary's up and running.

The Hamburger Mary's team isn't made up of "corporate suits." We are franchisees ourselves, so we know what it's like to open your first restaurant. We will provide support during all phases of opening your franchise, from site selection to equipment and interior design. You'll receive training on our tried-and-true recipes and unique "Mary Show" concept at one of our flagship stores in addition to on-site training at your new location. After you open, you'll continue to receive guidance with restaurant operations and promotions

The first Hamburger Mary's opened in San Francisco in 1972 with the motto of "an open-air bar & grill for open-minded people." The passion for individuality and non-conformity that the original owners brought to the business still courses through Mary's veins today.

While there are countless burger joints these days, there's no place like Hamburger Mary's!  We offer a flamboyant dining experience for our guests, with a delicious food & drink menu, and the most fabulous entertainment.  

Hamburger Mary's has a great name recognition, not just in the LGBTQ+ community.  The art of drag has become mainstream, and our "Dining with the Divas" Dinner & Drag shows have become especially popular for celebrations, as people are often looking for more exciting experiences than just a sit-down restaurant.

If the past is any indication, opening a Hamburger Mary's franchise in your city is guaranteed to cause a stir of anticipation.  After all, everyone wants to "Eat, Drink and be… Mary!"
