A contender to the Detroit burger crown is headed to Midtown:
Fat Burger will open at
Studio One Apartments this spring. This will be the California-based burger joint’s first Detroit location and its second in Michigan.
Fat
Burger opened in 1952 and is known for grilling made-to-order
burgers made of 100 percent lean beef that is never stored frozen.
The sit-down and to-go restaurant also serves fries, onion rings, hand-scooped ice cream shakes, chili and salads.
Fat Burger will occupy
nearly 2,000 square feet next to Fifth Third Bank, meaning that Studio
One's retail space will be 67
percent occupied and 100 percent leased when it opens. Fat Burger will join Utrecht Art Supplies, Radio
Shack, Biggby Coffee, Starter’s Bar and Grill and another
restaurant that is yet to be announced.
In other good news at Studio One, over 70 percent of its 124 market-rate
apartments have been leased. The units range from $870 for 650 square feet to $1395
for 1,008 square feet and include secured
parking, a fitness center and at least one balcony.
