The opening came on the first anniversary month of the original Juicy, located in the Milton Center Plaza in Ballston Spa.
Founder and owner Bobby Mitchell is behind the budding local chain. He previously launched such restaurants as Wheatfields and Doc's Steakhouse in Saratoga Springs.
Mitchell stayed away from opening a Juicy in the Spa city because of a non-compete clause in the contract signed when he sold Doc's Steakhouse there. That clause expires this coming February. Plus, in an interesting twist, Doc's has closed and filed for bankruptcy protection.
Which means, Mitchell told Saratoga.com, "The public should expect a Juicy Burgers and More location in downtown Saratoga Springs in the Spring of 2010."
Mitchell said his goal is about 10 locations in the Capital Region and Warren County, with locations in downtown Glens Falls, Malta, and Latham/Loudonville cited as definite targets in addition to Saratoga Springs.
"For the immediate future, all of the restaurants will be corporately owned," Mitchell said. "Franchising is something to be considered down the road, but things like that take time. You need to surround yourself with outstanding people regardless, and we would refuse to grow without that."
NOTES ON NAPKINS: The "and More" part of Juicy Burgers and More includes such offerings as soups, salads which can be topped with such additions as seared ahi tuna, grilled chicken, a Juicy Burger, grilled shrimp and sliced sirloin. Go here to see the menu.
