Gourmet burger chain Burger Urge has appointed former Retail Zoo’s head of property as head of development.
Allison Hall has more than 15 years’ experience in leasing, corporate real estate, and multi-site portfolio management. She spent two years at Retail Zoo, leading its leasing and property strategy.
Hall announced her appointment on LinkedIn. “It’s an incredible opportunity to lead the brand’s growth strategy as we continue expanding across Australia. I’m looking forward to working with a passionate team and bringing bold, fresh ideas to life in a business that’s already making serious waves in the industry,” she wrote.
“My role encompasses managing the end-to-end development lifecycle – from identifying and securing new locations, through lease negotiation and approvals, to ensuring seamless store openings that drive brand growth and profitability.”
Recently the former Betty’s Burgers boss at Retail Zoo, Troy McDonagh, joined Burger Urge as part of the brand’s advisory board.
Earlier in the year Burger Urge appointed Rebecca Mahar to the national training manager position. Mahar spent nearly 19 years with McDonald’s in Mackay in general management and operational roles.
