Vegan chain Moonburger to open Poughkeepsie eatery

The Hudson Valley fast-food chain Moonburger, which offers plant-based burgers instead of beef patties, announced plans to open its third eatery in Poughkeepsie next year.

The company erected a billboard sign that read “Hello Poughkeepsie! Moonburger landing 2024” and posted on Instagram that it will be taking over the site of a former Dunkin Donuts inside the Chestnut Mobil on Route 9. The chain added that an electric vehicle charger is being added to the Mobil station as part of its lease agreement.

Moonburger opened its first store in Kingston in 2021 and a second store in New Paltz in 2023.

“This is a huge dream for us, and we”™re so thankful to all of you who got us here,” said the chain to its Instagram followers.
