WASHINGTON — Actor Mark Wahlberg and brothers Donnie and Paul are expanding their burger chain to D.C., with a location right on Dupont Circle.
Wahlburgers will occupy 6,500 square feet at One Dupont Circle and says it will open later this year. It will be the first of several planned for the D.C. area, the company said.
It will be Wahlburgers’ seventh location.
“Wahlburgers will deliver a dining experience built on the Wahlberg family values of heartfelt hospitality and fun while offering a menu that emphasizes creativity and quality ingredients,” the company said in its Friday announcement.
Paul Wahlberg serves as the chain’s executive chef.
Wahlburgers menu includes burgers with names such as O.F.D. (originally from Dorchesstah), Mom’s Sloppy Joe and The Beast — two 5-ounce burgers topped with blue cheese sauce and BBQ sauce.
It also serves grilled cheese, hot dogs, chicken and fish sandwiches, salads and mac and cheese.
Wahlburgers also is the subject of the A&E Network show by the same name that first aired in 2014 as a behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant chain.
Wahlburgers also has locations in Boston, Philadelphia, Coney Island, Orlando, Las Vegas and Toronto.
