Israeli burger chain Burgerim has closed at Wheaton Plaza. Signage has been removed inside and outside, and the windows are blacked out. The unique burger restaurant only opened just over a year ago at the Westfield-operated mall.
Perhaps adding to the pain, is the long construction period of delays that led up to the opening last spring. Once again the moribund, business-unfriendly economy of the Montgomery County Council claims a victim. To add to the shock, Burgerim's closure occurred just as another burger joint, Bobby's Burger Palace, closed at Montgomery Mall this past weekend.
