San Jose: The Bay Area’s first Burger Pit opened in 1953. The last one is closing Tuesday

mercurynews.com/2024/04/19/san-jose-the-first-burger-pit-opened-in-1953-the-last-one-is-closing-tuesday/

Quick Glance: San Jose: The End of Iconic Burger Pit After 71 Years

Paul Berger, the aptly named owner, closed the last Burger Pit location in San Jose after a surge of customers present until the closure on April 23, 2024.

The Burger Pit chain, originally founded in the 1950s by Albert Berger, will come to an end with the closing of the last location in the South Bay area.

Owner Berger, who upheld his father's philosophy of good food at reasonable prices, will close the business after 71 years and take the popular chili recipe to the grave.

Despite the nostalgic feel and popular dishes of Burger Pit, customers will primarily miss the conviviality as they bid farewell to long-time staff and the historic location.
