Little Big Burger

Little Big Burger is a hamburger restaurant chain, based in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Description

Little Big Burger's menu consists of quarter-pound and veggie burgers as well as truffle fries.[1]

History

The chain was founded by Micah Camden and Katie Poppe in 2010. The business was sold to Chanticleer Holdings in 2015.[2][3] There are locations in five U.S. states (California, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, and Washington), including a dozen in the Portland metropolitan area, as of 2019.[4][5]

Workers sought to unionize in 2019.[6][7][8] In the May of 2024, the company was ordered to pay $316,500 after the United States Department of Labor found that 14 locations in Oregon and Washington withheld tips from workers[9] In July 2024, the company's parent, Amergent Hospitality Group, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[10]
