About Brgr Lab
Brgr Lab is a British premium burger brand founded in Coventry in 2020 by brothers Hamzah and Hassan Islam. Its science-inspired concept combines freshly prepared burgers and experimental flavours with distinctive laboratory-themed presentation, including drinks served in flasks and sauces in beakers. Following its Coventry debut, Brgr Lab launched franchising in 2024 and opened its first franchised restaurant in Leicester that September. The brand subsequently expanded into other UK locations and entered Qatar in January 2026 through a multi-unit franchise agreement. Brgr Lab offers owner-operators, area developers and hospitality businesses opportunities in selected UK and international markets. Franchise partners can access exclusive territories, operational training, marketing resources, ongoing business support and a turnkey fit-out option. The company aims to expand at a measured pace while maintaining its distinctive identity and restaurant standards.
