Sascha and Joelle Brodbeck parked the very first van down at the lake in 2009 and now that very same van, albeit with a lick of paint and a spruce up is back - as the pair open Brodburger's fourth location at Phillip.
In the carpark of Phillip's Paul's Centre, just off of Hindmarsh Drive, the Brodbeck's are feeling somewhat nostalgic being back in the original van.
"Only thanks to technology, this time customers won't need to wait anywhere near as long," says Sascha.
"Now you can pre-order online and arrive almost exactly as your burgers are coming off the grill."
This is Brodburger's fourth location, following the opening of their vans at Capital Brewing Co in Fyshwick and Coop at Soho in Dickson, alongside their restaurant in Kingston.
The menu will include all of the Brod favourites, alongside some brand-new budding breakfast burgers which will only be sold in the Phillip location.
"Yes, we're opening for breakfast here!" says Joelle.
"We thought breakfast burgers were fitting for our newest location because we expect so many tradies and early morning risers to pass through the area."
A total of three new breakfast burgers will be available on the menu including the expected favourite, The Don, which features a hash brown, crispy bacon, fried egg, beef patty, mixed lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, swiss cheese, relish, mayo and tomato or barbecue sauce.
The location was chosen after a call out to Canberra was made on social media back in April.
"We asked our followers where they wanted us to open next and Woden was the clear standout," says Joelle.
"Hip Pocket approached us with an opportunity to open in their carpark and we decided it was the perfect location, so Brod Woden it was.
"With Canberra's growth, Woden is becoming the new centre and we're so excited to be surrounded by great and flourishing businesses here."
Brodburger Woden will open Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 7.30am-3pm and 5.30-9.30pm; Saturdays from 9am-3:30pm and 5.30-9.30pm; and Sundays, 9am-3.30pm.
