Corbett’s Burgers & Soda Bar Gears Up for Growth as Demand for Nostalgic, Fast-Casual Dining Booms
Cary, NC (RestaurantNews.com) Corbett’s Burgers and Soda Bar, a hometown favorite known for serving up classic American comfort food with a nostalgic twist, is officially expanding its footprint across North Carolina and into South Carolina through franchising. After winning over hearts (and appetites) since its founding in Cary, Corbett’s has grown to five thriving locations – including Cary, Sanford, Wakefield, Morehead City, and Holly Springs – and now, it’s ready to bring its timeless burger shop experience to even more communities.
The next wave of growth will include development in the following markets: Fayetteville, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Southern Pines, Wilmington, the Charlotte Metro Area, Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, and Myrtle Beach.
The timing couldn’t be better. According to a 2024 Technomic report, the fast-casual restaurant segment is forecasted to grow at 7% annually through 2027, outperforming other dining categories. Diners today are looking for more than just a quick meal – they’re craving authenticity, quality, and emotional connection. Fast-casual concepts like Corbett’s are answering the call, offering premium experiences without the formality or high prices of traditional sit-down restaurants.
At the heart of Corbett’s is a simple, powerful idea: great food and a great feeling. Featuring fresh Angus beef burgers, hot dogs, homemade sauces, hand-spun milkshakes, and an unrivaled lineup of over 250 bottled sodas from around the U.S., Corbett’s offers guests a delicious throwback to the golden age of burger joints.
“There’s something timeless about a great burger and a cold soda in a glass bottle,” said Founder Corbett Shope. “It’s more than a meal – it’s a memory. We created Corbett’s to deliver those simple joys, and it’s incredible to see how deeply it resonates with people of all ages.”
When guests walk into Corbett’s, they’re welcomed by walls lined with vintage soda memorabilia and coolers brimming with rare, hard-to-find sodas from across the country. Add in warm service and a laid-back, retro vibe, and it’s no surprise Corbett’s has built a fiercely loyal following.
With customer demand and positive word-of-mouth fueling steady growth, Corbett’s is now seeking passionate franchise partners to help expand its presence in these targeted markets and beyond.
