September 18, 2008 // Franchising.com // Arlington, VA -- Elevation Burger franchisee, Michael Hup, and his partners, Padmesh Chhita and Ketan Patel, recently signed a lease securing real estate for the first of their five units in Pennsylvania.

The areas they plan to target for their next four locations include Bucks County, Willow Grove and Montgomery County in Pennsylvania and Princeton and Cherry Hill in New Jersey.
