Vegan fast-food brand Mr Charlie’s is launching a new store this weekend, and Travis Barker is expected to make a “special appearance” at the “grand opening.”
Mr Charlie’s, which is sometimes known as the “vegan McDonald’s,” has said that the opening of its latest branch will feature free plant-based burgers for guests.

Mr Charlie’s is opening its new store in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego, California, with an event this Saturday, July 11, from 1 pm until 5 pm. The brand said that it would be giving away a free Not a Hamburger, Not a Cheeseburger, or Not a Chicken Sandwich to all who arrive between 1 pm and 2 pm, while stocks last.
“Come hang out with us, meet the team, enjoy great food, and help us celebrate the newest Mr. Charlie’s location in the heart of Hillcrest,” Mr Charlie’s wrote on Instagram.
Barker, a longtime vegan and supporter of plant-based companies, joined Mr Charlie’s as an equity partner and ambassador in June.
“Mr Charlie’s isn’t just another food concept, it’s a movement,” Barker said at the time, and added, “What they’re building across food, culture, and community resonates with me. I’m excited to help take it to the next level.”

Barker has been a vegetarian since he was around 13 years old. He has said that he first adopted a vegan diet after recovering from the 2008 plane crash documented in his memoir, Can I Say. He has since launched his own vegan wellness brand, invested in LA’s legendary Crossroads Kitchen, and fronted a PETA campaign.
Last month, the drummer was spotted using a horse-free pedicab with Kourtney Kardashian while visiting New York City. The power couple got married in May.
