Mark Wahlberg Wahlburgers, The Fighter star Mark Wahlberg is more than just an amazing actor, he is a successful entrepreneur. Wahlburg, who opened his first restaurant – a burger joint appropriately named ‘Wahlburgers‘ – back in 2011 in Hingham, Massachusetts, admits business is going so well he is now expanding it to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
“We do higher-end burgers. Yesterday, we sold 1,300. It’s run by my brother, Paul, who is a five-star chef. We’re opening a bunch of them in Britain and Ireland this year,” he said.
Regarding his decision to open his own burger joint, Mark said most people were doubtful it would succeed:
“When I first mentioned the idea of Wahlburgers, people were like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a stupid idea.’
“What they don’t realize is how talented my brother is. I would never risk putting my name out there in a way that would end up being bad. You can get people to show up because of the name but they are going to come back because they like the food.
