Gourmet burger chain’s last Lexington location closes

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A gourmet burger chain is leaving Lexington.

Seven years after Lexington’s first BurgerFi location opening, all three of their Lexington locations have shut down.

The BurgerFi in Hamburg has closed its doors and drive-thru windows.

The Franklin Circuit Court posted an eviction notice on the front door Wednesday.

The closure notice states it is closed for non-payment of taxes owed to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

According to a court filing in the Fayette Circuit Court, the BurgerFi tenant did not pay rent in January, February or March of 2023.

BurgerFi is owned by MMBB Holding Co. LLC.

The same court document filed by the Madden family says they gave the tenants a notice to vacate on February 22 of this year. In total, the court filing says the tenant owes more than $44,000 in taxes, rent and late fees.

As some people make their way around the building, they say it’s upsetting to see another restaurant in the community close.

The restaurant closed in February.

The chain’s Fayette Mall location closed in January and the one on UK’s campus closed in 2022.
