BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo will get its first Rock Burger site as the Niagara Falls-based restaurant chain works to opens a new site in Elmwood Village.
Rock Burger – specializing in stuffed burgers – is under development at 502 Elmwood Ave. in a 2,547-square-foot space formerly operated as a pizzeria and commissary. It’s the second location for Brandon Markant and Derrick Ferraro, whose B&D Rock Enterprises opened Rock Burger at 2810 Union Road in Cheektowaga three years ago.
The burger chain was created in Niagara Falls by Jason Lizardo, who has signed half a dozen licensing deals for sites in the Buffalo and Rochester markets. Besides Lizardo’s site at 8529 Niagara Falls Blvd. in Niagara Falls, a licensed store operating in Tonawanda at 1750 Niagara Falls Blvd. transitioned to a new owner last year; and a site in Rochester closed.
