Description

Little Big Burger's menu consists of quarter-pound and veggie burgers as well as truffle fries.[1]

History

The chain was founded by Micah Camden and Katie Poppe in 2010. The business was sold to Chanticleer Holdings in 2015.[2] [3] There are locations in five U.S. states (California, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington), including a dozen in the Portland metropolitan area, as of 2019.[4] [5]

In July 2024, the company's parent, Amergent Hospitality Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[10]
