Mark Wahlberg is bringing his US burger chain, Wahlburgers, to Australia.

The deal is worth more than $50million – and will employ 500 staff and see movie-themed restaurants open in 15 locations inside or next to the chain’s cinemas.
These locations include Sydney’s Warriewood and Narellan, Melbourne’s Craigieburn, Brisbane’s Indooroopilly and Perth’s Rockingham.
‘What we are really focusing on now is creating exclusive content just for the customers. So people will see movie trailers early and all that stuff,’ Mark said.
The first store to open its doors will be in Sydney’s Circular Quay in coming months, which Mark promised to return to Australia for.

The Mile 22 star arrived in Australia on November 30 and was granted permission to self-isolate at a luxury retreat, instead of the mandatory two-week hotel quarantine.
Mark quarantined at a private property in Byron Bay, a coastal town in New South Wales, which reportedly set him back $400,000.
The Good Vibrations hitmaker was required to stay at the retreat for 14 days, before flying into Sydney to film an ad for online betting agency Ladbrokes.
Mark also led an intense workout at an F45 gym in the city’s Woolloomooloo on December 15, after investing in the Australian fitness franchise in 2018.
