While Grease Monkey has had a food truck on Hindmarsh Drive in Woden for the past couple of years, this is the first time it will have a permanent store in the area.

Grease Monkey director Nick Tuckwell said the southside had been really supportive of the pop-up "The Pitts" and it was time to give them a permanent dose of the Grease.

"Our food truck has been set-up at The Pitts for the past two years and the Woden community has got right behind us, so it's great we can now open the doors on a permanent shop," he said.

"The past couple of years has been really challenging for the Canberra food scene, and we want to thank everyone that has supported us. We're really proud we've been able to continue our plans to expand and open more Greasy's in the ACT."

The new store is not without its surprises, with some shiny new tech making it easier for the kitchen to get your food to you hot and greasy. There are also a few extra creature comforts for customers come in to eat and drink.

All your favourites will be on the Woden menu including Greasy's burgers, Detroit pizza and Greasy fried chicken. A strong beverage offering will be available with cocktails and Grease Monkey's signature independent and craft brews on tap.

And if that isn't enough, Greasy Monkey is giving away 500 free Greasy burgers from 11am on Sunday.

The Pitts will remain open for a few more days before moving to a new location at Kingston in the new year.
