Yellowknife’s Lenny Burger to close next month

Less than six months after opening, Yellowknife’s Lenny burger has announced they will officially close next month. 

The fast food restaurant opened in December on 48th street after the popular KFC closed its doors in last spring.

In a Facebook post over the weekend, the burger joint made the announcement, citing plans for the future and other factors for the closure.

To our Valued Customers,

It is with a heavy heart, and after much consideration that we have decided to close our doors for good on June 10th. This was not an easy decision to take, and understand that it will come as quite a surprise or shock to many people. Especially because we have received unbelievable support from not only the community of Yellowknife, but the Northwest Territories as a whole, and even beyond in some cases.

There were many circumstances to consider, and unfortunately as owners, plans for the future as well as other factors had changed. We took a decision that was best for all involved and we hope you can respect and understand that. Such is life at times.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our unbelievable staff who have worked with us over the years, and over the last 5 months. Their dedication makes this decision that much harder. Most of all we would like to thank you! our valued customers who have offered so much support since day 1 and we wish you all the best!

For all concerned, as we mentioned above our last day of operation will be Saturday, June 10th.

Thanks! and take care
