Local burger joint De Burg hungry to grow footprint

HOMEGROWN burger joint De Burg is on the lookout for franchisees to expand its operations both in Singapore and overseas. Co-founder Andrew "Encik Burger" Sim, who is on the hunt, believes that the brand will do well in IndoChina, pointing to countries such as Laos and Myanmar as American-style food grows in popularity in those markets.

"I want to bring this brand, flying Singapore's flag, around the world," he told The Business Times in an interview.

But a firm criteria for any partner is a deep love of burgers.
