Big news is sizzling in Woodburn—Burgerville is officially opening its doors on Monday, September 22, 2025, and the community couldn’t be more excited. For years, Burgerville has been a beloved name across the Pacific Northwest, known not only for its classic Tillamook cheeseburgers and crispy fries but also for its commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Now, Woodburn families and burger lovers alike will have a brand-new gathering spot right here in town.
If you’ve driven past the new building on Highway 214, you’ve probably noticed the buzz building around the construction site. According to the Woodburn Independent, the restaurant will officially welcome guests on September 22 at 7:00 a.m. sharp. To add to the excitement, the first 100 customers through the door on opening day will receive a special gift: an “Original Cheeseburgers” gift card that entitles them to 52 original cheeseburgers—one for every week of the year!
The festivities don’t stop there. At 9:00 a.m., Burgerville will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially celebrate its grand opening in Woodburn. It’s the perfect way to mark the brand’s first expansion into the city and a moment locals won’t want to miss. For longtime fans who have traveled to Salem, Portland, or Newberg to get their fix, this opening feels like a homecoming.
What makes Burgerville stand out is its Northwest roots. Since opening its first location in Vancouver, Washington in 1961, the chain has stayed true to a simple but powerful promise: real food, made with local ingredients. Burgerville partners with area farmers and producers, meaning you’re not just biting into a burger—you’re tasting a little piece of the Northwest. Whether it’s a marionberry milkshake in the summer or a pumpkin spice milkshake in the fall, the menu celebrates the flavors we all know and love.
Beyond the food, the arrival of Burgerville in Woodburn is creating something equally important: opportunity. The new location is bringing jobs to the community, offering a chance for local residents—especially students and young adults—to gain experience in a supportive workplace. Burgerville has long been recognized for valuing its employees, and that culture of care is now extending into Woodburn.
For families, the grand opening is about more than just another restaurant. It’s about having a welcoming space to gather after Friday night football games, a quick stop on the way home from shopping at Woodburn Premium Outlets, or a treat with friends after school. There’s something special about sharing a burger and fries with the people you love, and Burgerville has a knack for making those everyday moments feel a little more memorable.
Of course, the menu will bring plenty of excitement. Some locals are already buzzing about which item they’ll order first. Will it be the classic Tillamook cheeseburger? The fresh and crunchy veggie burger? Or maybe one of Burgerville’s famous seasonal milkshakes? We’d love to hear from you:
