Papa Johns franchisee relies on fast-casual burger concept

Portland, Oregon-based Killer Burger has signed a second six-store deal with Cascade Dining, following a previous six-store agreement. Cascade Dining owns 26 Papa John’s stores and opened its first Killer store in Salem, Oregon, last year.

“We are excited to expand our partnership with Dave Edwards (of Cascade Dining) and his team to open six more Killer Burger locations in the coming years,” said John Dikos, CEO of Killer Burger, in a company press release. “Dave and his team’s commitment to operational excellence ensures we deliver the ultimate burger experience we promise each and every customer, and their renewed commitment to our brand demonstrates the value we can offer franchisees. As we continue to grow our concept, we remain focused on expanding into new markets and filling empty spaces in the markets we currently serve with incredible franchisees like Dave.”

Edwards also recently purchased a company-owned Killer location in Gresham, Oregon, bringing his potential total to 13 locations.

“We were incredibly impressed with the immediate success we saw after our first opening in Salem and are confident we will expand the partnership to six additional locations,” Edwards said in the press release. “Killer Burger is more than a great burger joint with quality food, it’s a truly unique experience. We were huge fans of the brand even before partnering with John and the team and see these agreements as a great opportunity to leverage our operational excellence to grow the brand and round out our franchise portfolio.”
