In 2023, Epic Burger bought Meatheads Burgers & Fries and began the process of converting locations to the Epic Burger brand.[2] This process first saw the Northbrook location converted, followed by the Naperville location.[3] When this process is completed, Epic Burger's location count will stand at 11 restaurants.[4]
