    Brugers & Hot Smoked

    I present you my work in progress.

    The premises previously housed a video shop that was still operating at the beginning of 2023, how it survived until then, I’m not too sure. Had my eye on the shop for the last 2 years and always knew it would be the place to take my mission another step forward. It’s about 700 meters (nearly ½ mile) from where the wagon is and close to my very loyal customer base that has been growing exponentially.

    This has been put together on a tiny budget and me working alone (cheap labour that took too long.) In hindsight there are a few things I would do a little different but overall I am proud of what’s been achieved.
    As I mentioned it’s not the final result. I've determined the things that I desperately need, the most important being a larger custom built flat top (smash burger specific) that I have designed and will immensely improve my output. I will continue assessing the workings and make improvements as and when I can.

    Very nice indeed. Keeping your wagon going and whipping this place into shape makes for some loooong hours I'm sure. Good luck moving forward. Do you had a planned date for opening?

    If I'm ever in Port Elizabeth, S.A. you will see my smiling mug at your order counter. You can bet your sweet bippy on that!

    Is the spelling "Bruger" a play on the word or is there some other significance? Pardon my ignorance. Looks great!

    So good to see this. I seldom post but constantly lurk and I noticed you haven’t posted much. I wondered if there was a reason but now I see you’ve working your ass off. Opening and growing a small business is simultaneously wonderful and and maddening. All the best.
