Locals 8 Restaurant Holdings is a Hartford, Connecticut-based multi-concept brand development group that operates the Plan B Burger Bar chain of casual restaurants in Connecticut and Massachusetts. Reportedly the first restaurant group to be 100 percent Certified Humane Raised & Handled by the nonprofit Humane Farm Animal Care organization, the restaurants offer freshly ground-on-site beef that is 100 percent ‘Verified Humane’ with no antibiotics, hormones, fillers, added colors or chemicals, from farms that have undergone the strictest natural food certification. In addition to the gourmet burgers, the restaurants also include sandwiches, soups and salads along with a wide selection of craft beers and quality small-batch bourbon. Later in the Summer, the company will venture outside of New England with a Plan B Burger Bar opening on Pennsylvania Ave. NW in Washington DC. The 4800 square foot unit will open in the Market Square West mixed-use project. In addition to the Washington DC entry, the chain is also opening a unit in Fairfield in Connecticut in the Fall. The corporately owned chain is exploring other opportunities and is in the planning stages for locations in Atlanta and Boston.
