Stash Burger

Dining · 1 location · Manhattan: Greenwich Village

A halal smashburger counter that opened on MacDougal Street in spring 2026. One storefront, no outside investors of any kind, and a founder the company describes only as a 21-year-old college student, without naming them.

Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Stash Burger is a single Greenwich Village storefront with no investor, parent company or franchise system behind it, which leaves very little standing between the business and the person who owns it. The catch is that almost nothing else is knowable yet: it opened in April 2026, its founder has never been publicly named, and it has no labor, environmental or sourcing record to weigh. What is on record points one direction, to a closely held New York corporation that answers to its owner and nobody else.
