THE COUNTER® CUSTOM BUILT BURGERS NOW OPEN IN RIYADH
Build-Your-Own-Burger Restaurant Debuts Second Location in Saudi Arabia
LOS ANGELES, CA (June 30, 2015) – The Counter® Custom Built Burgers—the premium build-your-own-burger restaurant—is now operating its second Saudi Arabian location in Riyadh. The Counter® offers a burger for every lifestyle with over a million possible combinations and embraces “burgers with a conscience,” using naturally raised, hormone- and antibiotic-free beef, all-natural chicken, locally sourced shrimp, and a house-made vegan/veggie burger for their burger and salad style burger bowls. Additionally, The Counter® serves a wide selection of bold signature burgers and burger bowls, flavorful side dishes, milkshakes, all featuring quality ingredients.
At The Counter®, guests creatively construct their burgers by selecting from the following options using a checklist-style menu:
- Step #1 – Choose a Burger: Pick a protein
- Step #2 – Choose a Cheese: Choose from a variety of imported and domestic cheeses including Danish blue cheese, Greek feta, herb goat cheese spread, cheddar, jalapeno jack, gruyère and soft ripened brie
- Step #3 – Choose a Sauce: Top it off with one of our unique sauces including spicy sour cream, sweet sriracha, basil pesto, chipotle aioli, peanut sauce, tzatziki or sun-dried tomato vinaigrette
- Step #4 – Choose a Topping: Select from several toppings including crushed peanuts, sautéed mushrooms, sliced avocado, homemade chili, carrot strings, dill pickle chips, dried cranberries, grilled pineapple, roasted corn & black bean salsa, fried egg, avocado and spicy pepperoncini
- Step #5 – Choose a Bun: Put it all between a choice of artisan-baked buns like brioche style, Hawaiian bun and English muffin – or in a bowl over a bed of organic mixed greens or lettuce blend.
- Step #6 – Choose a Side: Don’t forget to add shoestring fries, crispy onion strings, quinoa salad, housemade chili or grilled vegetable skewers too
“We are proud to expand The Counter®’s footprint in Saudi Arabia and introduce the fun build-your-own burger concept to new guests,” said franchisee Khaled Al-Dajani of Dayem Holdings. “We look forward to growing with the Riyadh community and seeing all the new burger creations.”
