Burger fans, mark your calendars.

On Thursday 29 August at 15:00, YouTube megastar Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, will see his famous MrBeast Burger brand open its very first New Zealand store in Auckland.

The launch brings the internet-famous menu closer to home, with options like the Beast Style Burger, Chandler Style Burger, Nashville Chicken and Crinkle Fries available via UberEats, DoorDash or takeaway from the new Auckland outlet.

Opening weekend comes with plenty of extras.

Every order will include a free MrBeast Burger shoe charm and a can of Pepsi, plus surprise giveaways for lucky customers.

Dec Penfold, co-founder of VBNZ and MrBeast Burger’s New Zealand operator, says the buzz isn’t just about the hype.

“We’re bringing an iconic American burger brand and giving it a Kiwi twist. From the pickles to the patties, nearly every ingredient is sourced from local producers.”

MrBeast Burger NZ will focus on a delivery-first model using commercial kitchens.

The Auckland site is takeaway only, with more locations planned around the country soon.

For Hibiscus Coast families who already make the trip into town for a taste of something new, Auckland’s launch means the world’s most viral burger brand is finally just down the motorway.
