The area’s first location of the Smashburger chain is being developed on Wolf Road in Colonie, according to a map on a help-wanted ad on Cragslist. The ad says the unnamed franchisee plans to open two locations annually for the next five years. The closest Smashburgers currently are in the New York City metro area and Boston. The Denver-based chain, founded in 2007, now has more than 260 locations in 30 states and four other countries.

The application page for the general manager’s job for the location lists it as 81 Wolf Road, a former Friendly’s near Sand Creek Road.

Opinions about Smashburger?

I’m awaiting a return call from the company.
