After klagestorm: Popular fast food restaurant gives up

'There is a new cheap burgerkonge in Copenhagen.'

Such was the enthusiastic headline of a review in the newspaper Politiken of burgerbaren Burger Shack, which earlier this year opened on Tapperitorvet at Carlsberg City in Copenhagen.

Politiken responded with six enthusiastic hearts.

the Enthusiasm is, however, to overlook from the neighbours to the popular burger bar.


Burgerbaren blight, according to the neighbors, the air in the local area to such a degree that the neighbors can't avoid grillosen, when they are indoors in their apartments.

- We are forced to keep doors and windows closed to keep grillosen out, says Charlotte Martha Fischer, who lives diagonally across from the Burger Shack.

- In the spring, we were finally put balconies on our apartments, but due to the violent smell, we have not been able to use them throughout the summer.

Together with several neighbours, Charlotte and her husband complained to the city of Copenhagen over the forpestede air.


According to the director in the Burger Shack, Christopher of san francisco has the past months been fighting a futile battle to reduce the odour problem is in the area.

- We have used between 600,000 and 700,000 to attempt to reduce the odour problem is, but we simply had to observe, that it cannot be done, says the director.

in recent months, the restaurant has tried, in vain, to change the extraction system. You have among other things tried with new filters and to change the direction of the exhaust. Just a little, however, it has helped and you are now come to a realization that you will have to throw in the towel.

- the Restaurant is located very low in a vindlomme. We have not been able to solve the problem, and therefore we have now decided to move, says the director, Christopher of san francisco.


Thus there it is not long before the popular restaurant, which in its hit more than 2500 burgers over the disk, shuts down.

- We move over to the other side of the street to another address in the Carlsberg City. Here we can send the exhaust up over the buildings. We have a clear expectation that it removes the genes, says Christopher of san francisco.

It is hoped that the move can happen in the course of January.

the Burger Shack already have ten restaurants in the midwest and two on the island of Fyn. The chain plans to expand to more places in the country in the course of 2020.
