TFS Celebrates 10 Delicious Years with Community Festival

The celebration will feature Mayor Robert R. D’Amelio, live music, local vendors, and craft brewery tastings under new leadership from firefighter and manager John Abplanap

TFS Burger Works is proud to announce the 10-Year Anniversary of its West Haverstraw location, celebrating a decade of serving the local community. To mark the occasion, the restaurant will host a 10-Year Anniversary Festival on Saturday, September 13, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the West Haverstraw restaurant with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony at 7:00 p.m.

The day-long event will feature live music, local vendors, family-friendly activities, and craft brewery sample tastings, along with a special appearance by Mayor Robert R. D’Amelio.

The anniversary also highlights a new chapter for the West Haverstraw location, now managed by John Abplanap, a proud New York City firefighter and experienced operator. Abplanap recently joined the TFS Burger Works family, bringing a strong sense of community and leadership to the restaurant. “Being part of this community and now part of TFS Burger Works is something I’m incredibly proud of,” said Abplanap. “I’ve always admired the quality and values of this brand, and I’m excited not just to manage this location but to share it with my family and one day expand it with my children.”

Guests can expect the same high-quality food TFS Burger Works is known for, along with recent upgrades to the West Haverstraw restaurant under Abplanap’s management. The festival will celebrate the location’s role as a neighborhood favorite and reaffirm its commitment to the community it has proudly served for 10 years. This anniversary comes at an exciting time for TFS Burger Works as a brand. Founders Stavros Galanis and Nick Hill continue to expand across the tri-state area, with new locations opening soon in Bushwick, NY, Williamsburg, NY, and Rutherford, NJ.
