History
The first Burgeranch in Israel opened in 1972 on Ben Yehuda Street in Tel Aviv by Barry Scop and Ron Lapid. An article in the Jerusalem Post claimed that the chain had origins in South Africa.[4] In 1978, a second restaurant opened on Ibn Gvirol Street. Two more branches opened in 1979 in Ramat Hasharon and Dizengoff Center. By 1993, when McDonald's entered the Israeli market, Burgeranch was the largest restaurant chain in Israel, with 49 restaurants.
