Burger Bach closes in West Broad Village after 11-year run

A Short Pump burger joint has grilled its last patty. 

Burger Bach ceased operations at its West Broad location at 2225 Old Brick Road over the weekend. A sign on the restaurant’s door announced the closure on Sept. 1. 

“We regret to inform you that this location is now closed. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your years of support and loyalty,” the sign reads. 

The restaurant opened in the Whole Foods anchored mixed-use development in 2013, a year after the locally based chain was founded in Carytown by Angela Whitley and her late husband Michael Ripp. 

Burger Bach’s spots in Carytown, Midlothian and Durham, North Carolina remain open for business. Its Charlottesville location, which opened in 2016, appears to also have been shuttered in recent days. 

The Charlottesville restaurant’s phone line has been disconnected and the sign in the door of the Short Pump Burger Bach encourages guests to visit its Carytown, Midlothian and Durham locations, with no reference to the Charlottesville spot. 

Burger Bach CEO Dan Brantingham wasn’t available for comment by press time. 

Burger Bach’s exit from West Broad Village follows that of Carrabba’s Italian Grill, which closed its location in the neighborhood earlier this year after more than a decade in business. But a new arrival is on the way, as new-to-market restaurant Ford’s Garage is headed to 11275 W. Broad St.

Need to sell a bunch of those $20 burgers to pay the high rent in that location.

Flying in to Short Pump has gotten expensive too. Best to avoid the area from 11/1 – 2/1
