Eatery to specialize in burgers

JOHNSTOWN — A food court shop says it will bring “a better burger” to The Galleria mall.

Build-a-Burger owners say they hope to open a food court location in April that will offer fresh ground beef patties and free toppings such as jalapenos, grilled onions and mushrooms.

“We see ourselves as sort of like a Subway for burgers – or a cheaper Five Guys (Burgers and Fries),” said Veronica Wang, a Build-a-Burger co-owner.

“If you want a 4-ounce hamburger, it’s $3.99 ... and you can put whatever you want on it for that price.”

The location will also offer chicken sandwiches.

Wang said the menu is still being finalized but breakfast sandwiches, kids’ meals and milkshakes also will be featured.

The business is locally owned. For Wang and her husband Qing Min “Kyle” Wang, it’s their first venture in business ownership, but they have previous management experience just next door at Yummy Japan, she said.

Renovations are already under way at the site, which was home for years to a Wendy’s location that closed in January.

If all goes well, Build-a-Burger will open April 1, Wang said.

Five steps to ward off business fraud
Business fraud is everywhere. It can range from employees pilfering small items from the office to embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars. And crimes may be committed by anyone from the lowest-paid clerk to a longtime officer. All too often, business owners are oblivious to wrongdoings, or they simply refuse to acknowledge the possibilities – until it’s too late.

MICHAEL MacDOWELL | GM makes it big second time around
In April 2010, General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre announced that GM would pay back $8.1 billion in government loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from U.S. treasury officers as well. Of course, much of the $52 billion loaned to General Motors by the federal government – and the $1.4 billion loaned to General Motors by the Canadian government – has been converted to stock, which you and I as taxpayers own. This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson.
