Council helps BurgerFuel to Upper Hutt

posted on 19th May 2015

A council initiative to attract new retailers to Upper Hutt has paid off with the opening of a new BurgerFuel in the city this week. The initiative was first promoted to franchisors in November last year and offered grants totalling up to $80,000 towards relocation and retrofit expenses (see details here).

BurgerFuel Australasia general manager Craig Notman said the city council's approach was as good as it gets.

"This is the first time we've worked with a council that has such a pro-active stimulus package," he said.

"They have a great programme in place to assist the introduction of new businesses to the area and the BurgerFuel family is very happy to be joining the community."

Council economic development manager Phil Gorman said it was exciting to see UHCC's  stimulus package working to such effect for the city.

"To secure a brand as big as BurgerFuel and to have them investing as they have will encourage and help provide confidence to others looking at Upper Hutt as a great place to set up," Gorman said.
