A Northwest icon with a passion for sustainability, local ingredients, and community engagement, Burgerville is now bringing its signature flavor and values to Salem. The newest location (at 220 Lancaster Drive SE) opened its doors on April 25, 2025, marking a major milestone for the beloved Pacific Northwest burger brand.
Rooted in the Northwest, Powered by Purpose
Burgerville was founded in 1961 in Vancouver, Washington, and has grown into a regional favorite known for its commitment to fresh, locally sourced food and eco-conscious business practices. Over the decades, it has expanded thoughtfully throughout Oregon and Washington, never losing sight of its original mission: “Serve with Love.” This guiding principle has driven Burgerville’s emphasis on sustainability, social responsibility, and community engagement — values that are just as essential as the food it serves.
The Salem location represents a new chapter in Burgerville’s story, one that reflects both a growing appetite for quality fast food and a deepening connection to communities across the Willamette Valley.
What Makes Burgerville Stand Out?
Unlike traditional fast food chains, Burgerville builds relationships with local farmers, ranchers, and producers. Its seasonal menu rotates to reflect the harvest calendar, offering items like Walla Walla onion rings in the summer and pumpkin milkshakes in the fall. Nearly all of its ingredients — from antibiotic-free beef to Tillamook cheese — are sourced from within the region.
Its focus goes beyond food. Burgerville leads the industry in employee benefits and wage transparency, access to health care, and opportunities for career advancement.
Reasons to Reach Out to Burgerville (Salem):
- 100% Northwest-sourced beef in all burgers
- Cage-free eggs and antibiotic-free chicken
- Hand-spun seasonal milkshakes made with local produce
- Sustainable business practices, including renewable energy purchasing
- Local partnerships with regional farmers and food producers
- Community Fundraiser Nights that give back to local schools and non-profits
- Employee-forward culture, offering benefits not often found in fast food
A Welcome Addition to the Salem Community
Burgerville’s arrival in Salem is about more than just expanding a brand — it’s about joining a vibrant, growing community. The company has long invested in the neighborhoods it serves, supporting local schools, nonprofits, and events. The new Salem location is expected to bring jobs, build partnerships with local producers, support local schools and non-profits with fundraiser nights and provide a fresh, delicious dining option for residents and visitors alike.
