Amid the growing popularity of online shopping, food courts in malls continue to attract shoppers looking to grab a bite between retail stops. In San Antonio, North Star Mall offers a variety of dining options, including sit-down restaurants, snack booths, and beverage stands. A recent filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) reveals that Burger King will soon join the mall’s food lineup.
According to the TDLR filing, Burger King is set to take over an existing food court space at North Star Mall. Construction for the new location is scheduled to begin on August 5 and is expected to be completed by November 11. The project, which will involve architectural, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work, is estimated to cost around $239,000.
Founded in Miami, Florida, on July 30, 1954, Burger King recently celebrated its 70th anniversary. San Antonio currently hosts approximately 20 Burger King locations across the city. Despite reports in 2023 indicating that the fast food chain planned to close up to 400 stores, Burger King’s sales increased by 8.7% during that period, according to Today.com.
