Higgitt's Las Vegas Arcade Blackpool & £1 Burger Bar is a burger bar located in Blackpool, England. The burger bar became famous for offering multiple menu items for only £1.
The burger bar is owned by Christopher ‘No Hair’ Higgitt and has been in operation since 2006.[1] The restaurant is seasonal due to being in a resort town. It is open from March to November and is open 7 days a week while in season.[2][1] The burger bar also features an arcade.[1]
The burger bar stays in operation by selling items in volume, instead of charging more for various items.[3] Higgitt cites electricity and his labour as his main expenses and says he is able to buy ingredients in bulk at cheaper rates.[3]
