Nation’s Giant Hamburgers Flips Back into San Jose with Three New Spots

Nation’s Giant Hamburgers is staging a long-awaited comeback in San Jose, and it’s bringing a triple dose of excitement with three new locations set to open over the next few months. After stepping away from San Jose decades ago, Nation’s is responding to years of local demand, proving that the city’s appetite for their return has never faded. It's actually one of my favorite burger chains and I'm thrilled to see it coming back (the last one I visited was all the way in Lodi).

The new restaurants will land at 5805 Silver Creek Valley Place, 5750 Santa Teresa Blvd., Ste. 5, and 2131 Monterey Hwy., Suite 40, with the Silver Creek spot opening in July and the others following in August. This isn’t the slow rollout Nation’s is known for—typically, they open just one location every few years. San Jose’s size and diversity make it the perfect stage for this ambitious move, ensuring that fans across different corners of the city can get their fix. It’s a thoughtful spread, too, with the company hand-picking sites they believe will thrive, blending instinct with hard data.

What’s especially intriguing is how these locations mark a fresh chapter for Nation’s. They’re embracing a franchise model—something they’ve only started exploring in recent years. The Nation’s team scouted the spots and then teamed up with franchisees to bring them to life, a sign of smart growth that’s also taking them beyond San Jose to places like Elk Grove, Modesto, and Turlock. Yet, San Jose stands out as a cornerstone of this expansion, a city big enough to welcome three outposts at once.
