History

Fergburger started in February 2001, operating out of a garage off Cow Lane, its obscure location making it hard to find but conversely giving it something of a novelty status, relying on word of mouth to attract customers. It is now located on Shotover Street next to the new addition of Ferg Baker. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/Fergburger_restaurant.jpg" caption="The Fergburger restaurant in Queenstown"] ::
