MrBeast, one of the most prominent YouTubers of all time, has decided to launch his first ever physical store for his iconic Beast Burger. Within just 10 minutes of opening the store, they got over 10,000 people lining up to buy their burgers.
Who is MrBeast and Why is He so Popular?
For those that don't know, MrBeast is an icon in the YouTuber space, being the one to upload the real-life Squid Game video. The video was uploaded on November 25 of 2021, and as of press time, it has already gained over 286 million views.
MrBeast, or Jimmy in real life, has decided to venture past YouTube and launch his brand of burgers called the Beast Burgers. At first, the concept started out very different compared to having a physical store.
Jimmy Shared a Photo of the Crowd Lining Up to Get Beast Burgers
A photo of the crowd was uploaded to Twitter with MrBeast's personal thoughts, saying, "I feel pretty good about serving all you but anyone else coming idk maybe come tomorrow/later tonight."

The remarks made by MrBeast pointed toward the fully packed mall where thousands of people were all lining up to try and get their hands on the Beast Burger. According to Essentially Sports, MrBeast initially started Beast Burger as a ghost restaurant.
Beast Burger Scaled from One Ghost Location to Over 10,000 Branches
This meant that when the concept first started, Beast Burger did not have any physical stores of its own. Fans would have to order online, and the ones that would cook the burger would be restaurants that partnered with MrBeast.
The 24-year-old MrBeast announced the opening of the Beast Burger's first ever physical store at the American Dream Mall located in New Jersey's Meadowlands Sports Complex. The Beast Burger's ghost kitchen first started off with one location, but the business has grown to have over 10,000 branches.

The news is big because the Beast Burger previously only partnered with other restaurants through ghost kitchens, but now, Jimmy is finally launching the first physical location on his own. This means that fans that don't want to order through partners can order from the official store itself.
The main MrBeast channel already has over 104 million subscribers, with the top YouTuber, PewDiePie, at 111 million subscribers. While the number used to be substantial, the gap is closing in with MrBeast slowly catching up to PewDiePie.
Essentially Sports notes that at the rate that MrBeast's channel is growing, however, he might be able to surpass PewDiePie in the span of the next couple of months. The publication described Jimmy's channel as "rising at a remarkable speed."
