Burgerville: "Fresh. Local. Sustainable"

I have always been an avid follower of Burgerville simply for being a Northwest chain specializing in local products and ingredients. The restaurant also has a bit of an allure: Burgerville is only available in the Northwest. Those of my friends and family that live outside the area come to visit and I make sure to treat them to Burgerville. The food there is just something special given its local products and centralized store locations.

All restaurant plugs aside: what has been increasingly prevalent over the years is Burgerville’s consistent desire to not only help the local community but to help conserve resources and to think sustainably. The chain has adapted their own sustainable business and they are not afraid to help the environment in any way that they can.

The best thing about it as well is that being a local fast food chain, purchasing their products also stimulates our economy and increases local and personal awareness for energy conservation. Local food means less travel cost and above-all less fuel used in transporting ingredients.

The restaurant has lined and described all the ways that they help the community, their partners and above all: the environment. The information can be found here: http://burgerville.com/sustainable-business/ on Burgerville’s official website.
