The Marathon Clothing brand recently dropped a bombshell on Instagram after hinting at the grand opening of a burger joint poised to carry forward the indomitable legacy of late Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle.
In a pair of posts shared via the official Instagram account for the clothing brand, digital renderings of the purported storefront and branded packaging product designs teased the first location of Marathon Burger would be opening “soon.” In an Instagram post AllHipHop shared covering the news of the grand opening, Maybach Music Group mogul and Nipsey’s frequent collaborator Rick Ross shared his excitement for the culinary center by adding a fire emoji in the comments section.
Though details remain scarce, speculation is rife about the exact location of this much-anticipated eatery. It’s worth noting, though, that there was a restaurant in Compton for decades called Marathon Burger, which was located at the 600 block of Compton Boulevard, that closed nearly two years ago without warning. Many believe Marathon Burger will find its home in the heart of South Central Los Angeles, possibly at the recently renovated “Nipsey Hussle Square” on Crenshaw Boulevard.
