Wayback Burgers, America’s favorite hometown burger joint and one of the nation’s fastest-growing burger franchises, today announced a lease signing for a new restaurant in Suffolk County. Located at 425 Union Boulevard in West Islip, NY, the restaurant will be the sixth Wayback Burgers location in New York, and the first owned and operated by local franchisees, Michael Gallagher and Michael Gallagher Jr. The new location is projected to add 30 new jobs to the local economy and expected to open in summer 2023.

“We are pleased to continue the expansion of Wayback Burgers in New York with the lease signing of our West Islip restaurant,” said Patrick Conlin, President of Wayback Burgers. “With operations in 35 states and new restaurants extending our footprint nationwide, it is an exciting time to be a part of the Wayback Burgers family. We look forward to working with excellent franchise partners like the Gallagher family to introduce Wayback Burgers to the West Islip community.”

Wayback Burgers offers a variety of cooked-to-order, delicious burgers available as a single patty or classic double patties. The “Cheeeesy” is a fan favorite and comes with four slices of melted American cheese and two beef patties cooked-to-order, sandwiched between an inverted, grilled and buttered bun. Going “way” beyond the burger, Wayback Burgers also offers cheesesteaks, crispy and grilled chicken sandwiches, veggie burgers, Impossible Burgers, chicken tenders, fresh salads, and delicious sides, including fries, tater tots, onion rings and mac and cheese bites. As a perfect complement to any meal, Wayback Burgers is famous for its rich, hand-dipped milkshakes, crafted to order with Blue Bunny® ice cream and milk.

“My family and I have always been impressed by Wayback Burgers’ customer-friendly environment and high-quality food,” said Michael Gallagher, local franchisee. “After learning more about the brand’s franchisee process, we unanimously agreed Wayback Burgers was the perfect franchise venture for our family. We are all ecstatic to make the switch from longtime customers to brand-new owners.”

The new 1,700 square-foot Wayback Burgers of West Islip, NY will offer a lighter and brighter elevated dine-in experience. With a modernized kitchen visible through glass windows and a pass-through, Wayback Burgers’ new design allows guests to see their food as it is prepared.
