The burger chain Humongous is expanding to Tel Aviv for the first time, with a new branch set to open in Future Park Tel Aviv in March 2027. This eighth branch for the chain will involve an investment of over 6 million shekels and span approximately 360 square meters, including an outdoor area with about 100 seats. The new location is expected to employ over 30 people and operate throughout the day, including evenings and weekends. During lunchtime, it will primarily cater to employees and visitors of Future Park, while in the evenings and on weekends, it aims to attract Tel Aviv residents and visitors from surrounding areas.
The move into Tel Aviv marks a significant step for Humongous, which currently operates seven branches across Israel. The company acknowledges Tel Aviv's competitive and dynamic restaurant market, stating the decision to enter was made after feeling ready for this expansion. Gal Bachar, the chain's owner and CEO, and Tal Bachar, owner and experience manager, emphasized that Tel Aviv is a crucial stage for Humongous's development. They aim to bring their unique offerings of surprising food, humor, atmosphere, and experience to the city, rather than altering their brand to fit Tel Aviv.
Humongous's menu features over 20 unique beef burger options, based on Argentinian beef ground daily, with signature burgers including Italian, French, Philly, and Mexican varieties, alongside rotating limited editions. The chain also manages a customer club with around 40,000 members and reports tens of thousands of customers dining in or ordering monthly.
The opening aligns with Future Park Tel Aviv's strategy to evolve beyond a traditional employment hub into a mixed-use space integrating work, dining, commerce, culture, and leisure, embodying the "15-minute city" concept. Eyal Green, CEO of Future Park Tel Aviv, stated that Humongous's arrival is part of their vision to create a vibrant urban space for work and leisure. He sees the partnership as natural, given Humongous's ability to bring a distinct audience, energy, and experience to the area.
