Save Dave’s Burgers Lease/Moving Expenses

Donation protected
We are asking for community support to save Dave’s Burgers Lease, the Lynnwood drive-thru at 19509 44th Ave. W. We are facing eviction by our landlord in order to make way for a fast food chain. Opening way back before 1990, we have been family-owned and operated ever since. The mom-‘n’-pop feel of the business and the people who have become our “regulars” make this news devastating. Our work and family lives are attached to Dave’s Burgers. Lynnwood doesn’t need another chain restaurant. Lynnwood needs Character, Diversity and Community. 

As many of you know, we’ve had some on going issues with the new property management. Several small businesses were forced out including the Dry Cleaners and highline market. We are fighting hard to have our lease honored. By donating this will go  towards our legal representation. 

We CAN STAY IN BUSINESS! We know many will wonder if this lease is worth saving. We promise it is! Our monthly revenues are enough to pay our bills. We may be a small location but we have a lot of history, heart and our food packs a big taste! Across the street from the Lynnwood Police Department, Dave’s quickly picked up steam as a favorite lunch spot for officers wanting an old fashion burger and a hand spun shake. 30 years later, Dave’s has remained a Lynnwood staple.  We love feeding our customers and being able to also contribute positively to our community.  In addition to the restaurant, we also enjoy catering and participating in community events.  We participate in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Walks, donate to the Lynnwood Food Bank, support local high school newspapers, and have mentored and provided job training to countless area youth, and feeding the homeless Sunday.

You can help!
There are no words to express what your help will mean to the team here at Dave's Burgers. This is a business that has been built with fierce love and dedication by an incredible group of family, friends, and customers that understand and believe in our mission and community. We employ people that live right here in the neighborhood. Saving our lease means saving their jobs and declaring that you believe in the little guys too. 

We're the drive thru that still hand spins every milkshake we serve. The burger stand where you’re food is made to order and regulars are never turned away because they forgot their wallet or card was declined. Where the owner knows your order by heart because she’s been working here since she was 15.  

There is so much more we want to do. We don't believe this is how the story ends for Dave's Burgers and we don't want to say Goodbye.  Anything you can give will help. If it's not in your budget to donate funds please sign our online petition
