On the heels of confirming its first Washington, D.C. location, Wahlburgers, founded by Executive Chef Paul Wahlberg and brothers Mark and Donnie, has announced that it will open a restaurant at Ballston Point in Arlington, VA. A lease has been signed for 6,600 SF of retail space adjacent to the Ballston Common shopping mall on the prominent intersection of Wilson Boulevard and Glebe Road. Monument Realty’s Roger Carlson represented the owner and Lance Marine with CBRE represented Wahlburgers.
Slated to open in early 2017, Wahlburgers will deliver a dining experience built on the Wahlberg family values of heartfelt hospitality and fun while offering a chef-inspired menu that highlights creative burgers, sandwiches and sides made with quality ingredients. The restaurant will feature both a fast casual counter and spacious full-service dining room with an expansive bar and outdoor patio. A retail section will showcase branded Wahlburgers T-shirts, hats, drinkware and more.
“We are committed to bringing Wahlburgers to the metro D.C. area and look forward to opening our doors in both Arlington and Dupont Circle in coming months,” said President and COO Maurizio Marfoglia of WBDC Hospitality LLC. “Now with two locations secured, we are excited to continue further expansion in the market.”
“We are thrilled that Wahlburgers has invested in the Ballston neighborhood and has chosen our building, Ballston Point, to do so,” said Michael Darby, principal of Monument Realty. “The renaissance that is happening in Ballston right now is so exciting and Wahlburgers is a perfect fit for the area and our building.”

THE WAHLBURGERS STORY
Founded by Executive Chef Paul Wahlberg and celebrity brothers Mark and Donnie and other investors, Wahlburgers debuted in October 2011 in Hingham, Massachusetts. The subject of an A&E reality show, Wahlburgers offers a fun, casual music-filled atmosphere where guests, like family, share great food, a few laughs and lots of love. While its walls celebrate the story through photos and words of the Wahlberg brothers’ life journeys from Dorchester, Mass. neighborhood kids to rising chef and international superstars, it’s the food at Wahlburgers that takes center stage.
Crafted by Chef Paul and served with heartfelt hospitality, the chef inspired menu features a variety of fresh burgers, housemade condiments, crispy haddock, seared chicken and vegetarian options. Other signature items include Mom’s Sloppy Joe, thin crispy onion rings, tater tots and thick creamy frappes and floats. Gluten free options are available.
Wahlburgers’ full-service bar is a popular gathering spot offering an impressive selection of adult frappes, cocktails, wines and beers including the signature Wahlbrewski – a Harpoon Brewery custom, unfiltered Pale Ale. Dedicated to giving back, Wahlburgers is active in every community it serves. Open daily for lunch and dinner, Wahlburgers offers full-service dining, counter service, take out and a full-service bar. For locations and more information visit wahlburgersrestaurant.com.
