What was supposed to be a short-term closure has become permanent for a Greater Houston restaurant. Nearly two months after temporarily shutting its doors, Burger Fresh in Humble announced it will not reopen.
Burger Fresh’s owners shared the news Monday on social media, saying that they made the “heartbreaking” call after much thought, prayer, and very difficult decisions.
‘A heartfelt goodbye to Humble’
“We didn’t come to Humble just to open another restaurant. We came with dreams, determination, and the hope of becoming a little piece of your community. And thanks to so many of you, we did just that,” Burger Fresh’s statement read.
“Unfortunately, between the challenges of today’s economy, the significant expense of necessary equipment repairs, ongoing operational obstacles, and circumstances beyond our control, continuing to operate our Humble location is no longer financially sustainable.”
While Burger Fresh’s Humble location at 1502 1st St. is closed, its original spot in Conroe about 29 miles away will remain open. The restaurant is even giving 15 percent off meals to anyone who mentions the Facebook or Instagram announcement as a “thank you for being part of our journey.”…
