A Wayback Burgers restaurant is coming to Natomas at 4000 E Commerce Way. According to city records, plans have been filed for permit application with the City of Sacramento. Franchisee Mansoor Babar confirmed with What Now Sacramento that he is hoping to open the location in winter 2024, by the end of this year.
Located inside Natomas Landing, the upcoming Wayback Burgers will occupy the vacant Ste 150, which was previously a flooring store called Homesite Services. The space will require new electrical, plumbing, and mechanical modifications, interior particions and new equipment. Application materials indicate Carmichael based Carlifornia Dream Construction is leading the project.
Barbar has a strong entrepreneurial background and has operated a transportation compoany in the past. A native of Plumas Lake, Babar has always been familiar with the Wayback brand as the company ahd another location in Roseville as well. Babar told What Now Sacramento that he did some research before moving forward with the franchise, and what he appreciated was how the brand used fresh meat instead of frozen patties for their burgers.
