Lower Hutt, Meet Paul

Paul has owned a few BurgerFuel stores in his time, with his, and is still the proud franchisee of BurgerFuel Lower Hutt. He had years of experience behind him in the quick service restaurant industry and after trying his first BurgerFuel burger at the Ponsonby store, he immediately decided that he would love to own his own and set about making it happen. The rest is history.

Today, he has helped young entrepreneurs step into their own BurgerFuel stores, such as purchasing BurgerFuel Porirua, with nephew Tim at the helm, and BurgerFuel Johnsonville, run by young couple Mat and Tracy. Paul continues to mentor and support the young business owners and generally give them a hard time, as he's known for.

Originally from Tauranga, Paul is now a Wellingtonian through and through. A staunch Phoenix supporter, he loves the friendly people in Wellington and living close to the water. His regular weekend activity is kayaking in Eastbourne and heading to Hive Café, for brunch. 

When asked what he loves about the brand today, “The customers love it. The advocacy that fans have towards BurgerFuel is really something. You will see it any time we have an offer or when we opened our doors again after lockdown. It was really nice to see those familiar faces again, just waiting to get their fix after a long wait”.
