Juicy Burgers: 2nd Opening With More To Come
The Capital Region’s second Juicy Burgers and More opened today, in the Karner Corners Plaza on New Karner Road in this Albany County suburb.
The opening came on the first anniversary month of the original Juicy, located in the Milton Center Plaza in Ballston Spa.
Founder and owner Bobby Mitchell is behind the budding local chain. He previously launched such restaurants as Wheatfields and Doc’s Steakhouse in Saratoga Springs.
Mitchell stayed away from opening a Juicy in the Spa city because of a non-compete clause in the contract signed when he sold Doc’s Steakhouse there. That clause expires this coming February. Plus, in an interesting twist, Doc’s has closed and filed for bankruptcy protection.
Which means, Mitchell told Saratoga.com, “The public should expect a Juicy Burgers and More location in downtown Saratoga Springs in the Spring of 2010.”
Mitchell said his goal is about 10 locations in the Capital Region and Warren County, with locations in downtown Glens Falls, Malta, and Latham/Loudonville cited as definite targets in addition to Saratoga Springs.
