"Coming to the Mall of America through a partnership with Hy‑Vee, Wahlburgers — named after brothers Mark, Donnie, and Paul Wahlberg — will occupy a 5,500-square-foot space on the second floor of the mall’s north wing and is expected to open this spring; the chain will celebrate its grand opening at 6 p.m. on May 31, an event the public is invited to attend. With locations in 15 states including Minnesota and a reality TV show on A&E, the burger joint leans into a playful, branded experience (adding “Wahl” to offerings like “Wahlcoctions” and “Wahlbrewskis”) and promises a fun, casual, music-filled atmosphere where guests, like family, share great food, a few laughs, and lots of love — fitting squarely into the polarizing Mall of America vibe that people either love or hate and positioned as “the place for fun in your life.”" - Cinnamon Janzer
