WAITE PARK -- Burger lovers get ready as a new place to eat is coming to Waite Park.

World Burger Company is a locally owned restaurant that features world themed burgers, homemade buns and 100% certified Angus beef, which less than 8% of the world's beef qualifies.

Ken Rittmuller, and his wife Tracy, are the owners of the restaurant. He says he has traveled all over the country and with his cooking background, has always wanted to open his own restaurant.

"I can do all kinds of fancy gourmet food and was trained by a former saucier to the Queen of England. So I can make anything you want but guess where my heart is at, burgers," says Rittmuller.

This is the first of six restaurants planned to open in the St. Cloud area within the next two years.

Rittmuller says while they may have a fast food menu, when you walk through the doors you will feel like your in Europe.

"It's very subdued looking, there will be mellow music, posters of Italy and Germany. It will look very much like an European cafe inside," says Rittmuller.

Rittmuller says they are currently hiring for full and part-time positions. They plan to open in October.

World Burger is located in the Sundial Village mall at 631 2nd Street South in Waite Park.
