Sabre Real Estate Group LLC has arranged a lease for the first Long Island location of BurgerFi, a growing sustainable, fast-casual restaurant chain focused on gourmet, all-natural Angus beef burgers.
BurgerFi will occupy a 2,000 s/f endcap space at 8063 Jericho Tpke. in the Woodbury Marketplace shopping center owned by Kabro Associates.
Russel Helbling, a director at Sabre, arranged the lease.
BurgerFi, founded in 2010 by John Rosatti, owner of the Office Restaurant in Delray Beach, Fla., features a made-to-order menu of all-natural, farm-raised beef, specialty hot dogs, fresh-cut French fries, onion rings, desserts and craft beer & wine. The chain incorporates eco-friendly and sustainable practices into each store's construction, including the use of Forest Stewardship Council certified lumber, LED lighting, low VOC paint, and Energy Star appliances. Each location also uses aluminum trays, cups made of recycled corn and furniture made from recycled plastic soda bottles.

Founded two years ago, BurgerFi currently operates five locations in Florida with plans to open 24 more in California, Texas, Ohio, and Connecticut by the end of 2012. Typical development costs range from $300,000 to $550,000 and the average annual unit sales volume is more than $2 million. Each BurgerFi location runs about 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, either free standing or endcap, and requires parking for 10 cars per 1,000 square feet. Each restaurant employs between 15 and 27 people.
