Marathon Burger is growing from a cult LA spot into a real network. After Melrose Venice Beach and Canoga Park Long Beach is already the next stop on the map.
From Nipsey Hussle to the brand
With the Marathon universe Nipsey Hussle built more than just music. It was always about ownership community and building real structures for the long run. That same mindset is reflected in Marathon Burger. The brand is not simply copied or marketed it is being anchored in the city step by step in a very real way.
The expansion so far
The first major milestone was the official opening in Los Angeles on Melrose. Shortly after the next location opened in Venice Beach a strong signal since that area brings together international visitors and locals every day. Then came Canoga Park another location that shows Marathon Burger is not only built for tourists but is expanding into more parts of the city.
Next stop Long Beach
Now the next move is becoming concrete. The first Long Beach location is announced for March 1 2026. The spot is in Downtown and is set to open up a new area shaped by culture nightlife and tourism. At the same time the message stays clear Marathon Burger is positioned as part of a legacy not a short term trend.
Conclusion
Marathon Burger is turning into a visible chapter of the Marathon movement. While many brands stop at merch this project is building real places that connect community food and culture. Long Beach could be the next major milestone.
