A popular burger chain will be joining the growing list of restaurants and retailers in the Folsom Ranch community, south of highway 50. The Habit Burger Grill has announced it will become part of the rising retail center known as The Shops at Folsom Ranch.
The Habit is not new to the Folsom area. This will be the second Folsom location for the company that has 13 different spots in the Sacramento area. Their current successful Folsom location is 1115 East Bidwell Street near Blue Ravine Road.

They also offer a number of typical side dishes from fries, tots and onion rings to fried green beans and more.
In addition to burgers, the company dishes out salads, chicken sandwiches, frozen treats and offers family bundles. They also offer kids meals at all of their locations.
The Habit franchise began in Santa Barbara where their cite their brand was “inspired by the coastal town’s laid back vibrancy and passion for culinary exploration, that formed what they refer to as the love of the craft,” according to its company website. The company began as a single diner and today is offered to franchisees and owned by Yum Brands.
According to materials supplied by The Edwards Company, representing The Shops. The Habit has signed on to fill a self-standing building that will be 2,800 square feet when completed.
