Marathon Burger expands Nipsey Hussle’s brand to Las Vegas

Marathon Burger, the family-run restaurant brand inspired by the late West Coast rapper Nipsey Hussle, is expanding from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. The new location will serve as the franchise’s first restaurant to feature a drive-thru.

Samiel “Blacc Sam” Asghedom announced the expansion, noting that Las Vegas has long been an aspirational destination for the brand. The move fulfills one of Hussle’s original business goals to extend the Marathon name into various ventures.

The brand currently operates three locations in the Los Angeles area, including sites on Melrose Avenue and the Venice Boardwalk, as well as a mobile food trailer. The menu focuses on Wagyu smashburgers. No specific opening date or exact location in Las Vegas has been announced yet.
