Betty’s Burgers is expanding into Regional Victoria, with a brand-new restaurant opening this December at 15 Bridge Mall, Ballarat Central. The popular burger chain continues its strong growth across Australia and is poised to attract significant attention in one of Victoria’s fastest-developing regional areas.

This opening highlights the strength of the premium Australian burger franchise opportunity backed by Retail Zoo, the group behind Boost Juice. Betty’s Burgers is known for its high-quality burgers, fresh ingredients and relaxed coastal-inspired dining experience — a formula that has helped the brand grow rapidly over the past decade.

Strong Franchise Growth

Betty’s Burgers has expanded to over 60 locations across Australia, with more stores planned as demand for gourmet and fast-casual dining continues to rise. The franchise investment typically ranges from AUD 753,000 to AUD 1.3 million, including training and operational support through Retail Zoo’s established systems.

This growth positions Betty’s Burgers among Australia’s fast-growing fast-food franchise brands, making the Ballarat launch an important step in its national expansion strategy.

Boost for Ballarat

The new Ballarat store is expected to bring foot traffic into the revitalised Bridge Mall precinct, support local employment and offer a fresh dining option for residents and visitors. The opening follows ongoing upgrades to the area, making it an ideal time for a major hospitality brand to move in.

Betty’s Burgers has not yet confirmed the exact opening date, but the doors will officially open sometime in December, with more announcements expected soon.
