Denver-based Smashburger said Wednesday it will open the first two of 10 restaurants in Utah in August, at 3513 S. 2700 West and 2100 S. 1028 East.
A regional menu tailored to Utah residents' tastes will be featured in each restaurant, including the Beehive Smashburger and Smashchicken and Grasshopper Mint shakes made with H?gen-Dazs ice cream.
The company will open 30 to 60 other locations nationwide this year. Smashburger's business concept was funded with $15 million from private equity and concept development firm Consumer Capital Partners.
