EVOS, a popular, health-conscious burger chain in Florida is officially out of business after 31 years.
“We’ve enjoyed this chapter of our lives immensely, but all good things come to an end,” co-founder Michael Jeffer said in a statement, according to Daily Mail.
“We have no regrets and we leave having taken steps to secure jobs and futures for our valued team. We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve our community, which has rewarded us many times over,” Jeffer added.
EVOS Carrollwood, South Tampa, and St. Petersburg were the three remaining locations in The Sunshine State.
Despite the closures, EVOS’ website is still up and running with their mission statement.
“There are a lot of food options out there. But none as unique as EVOS. EVOS is delicious All American food. But without the guilt and regret. Because EVOS Airbakes instead of deep-frying. Sealing in flavor without the excess fat & calories,” the site reads.
“We select only humanely and naturally raised beef and chicken because we know you’ll taste the difference. We make our food with the good stuff, not cheap ingredients. Our milkshakes? Organic milk and sugar. Simple, natural, delicious. Our fruitshakes? Real fruit and real fruit juices. Again, simple, natural, delicious,” the site adds, noting that all of their packaging, including gift cards, were made from recycled materials.
Taking a look at their “Feel Great Burgers” menu, some of the items offered included a Wild Alaskan Salmon Burger, a Grilled Chicken BLT Burger, a Chipotle Blackbean Burger, and an Original Steakhouse Burger.
All standard orders, which were advertised as 50 to 70 percent healthier than the average burger joint, came complete with an organic bun. However, customers could opt for a gluten-free bun instead.
Natural, hormone, antibiotic, and nitrate-free bacon, natural aged cheddar, vegan smoked gouda, and fresh Hass avocado are listed as available toppings.
