Cult Berlin Fast Food Chain Burgermeister to Open in Prague
Prague Morning
Following its success across Germany and Poland, the Berlin-based burger chain plans to enter the Czech market, with its first location expected to open in Prague either later this autumn or in early 2027.
The story of Burgermeister is often described as a textbook Berlin success story.
What began as a small stand in a disused public toilet booth under the U-Bahn tracks at Schlesisches Tor has grown into a franchise widely regarded as serving some of the city’s best burgers.
Today, the company operates more than 30 locations and continues to expand.
After growing across Berlin and Germany, Burgermeister recently entered Poland, opening in Szczecin and later in Łódź, with additional Polish cities planned.
The next step is the Czech Republic, where the first Prague branch is expected as part of the company’s broader European expansion. The company’s long-term plan envisions up to 20 locations across the country.

Beyond Poland and Czechia, Burgermeister is also eyeing further international expansion, including the UK, Spain, and Scandinavia.
Despite this growth, the concept remains unchanged, with production continuing centrally and no adjustments made to local preferences. “Every burger should taste […] just like it does in the heart of Kreuzberg,” said Robert Fügert, CEO of Burgermeister.
