Owner Zoe Tsagalis said Beaufort Street has had its share of negativity lately but they strongly believed the location and history of the strip would always retain its appeal.

“We love the neighbourhood and are excited to share the block with Mary Street Bakery, The Queens, El Publico and The Must Wine Bar,” she said.

“The Huxtaburger brand is synonymous with the Melbourne food culture. Each store has its own personality and becomes part of the local neighbourhood.

“I have loved the product for a long time and I know that when Dom travels to Melbourne he often drops into the Collingwood store for a burger, so we jumped at the opportunity to join the business.”
