Save EZ's Burger Deluxe from Destruction
Save EZ's Burger Deluxe from Destruction
The Issue
For decades, EZ's Burger Deluxe has nourished Wenatchee with not only the best burgers in town but also a welcoming atmosphere and a gluten-free menu that serves as a haven for many families—including mine. It's one of the few places my family and I can enjoy a meal together, knowing the food is safe for our dietary needs and delicious beyond compare.
However, this cherished local spot is under imminent threat due to plans set forth by Mayor Mike Poirier, which propose using eminent domain to take over the property for a turn lane and a separate bike path project. EZ’s owner Pete Ezetta, 78, who has devoted 35 years of his life to building this community cornerstone, stands to lose everything he's worked for without any regard or acknowledgment of the impact on local business and the community.
EZ’s Burger Deluxe is not just a restaurant, it’s a legacy and a piece of Wenatchee's heart. Losing it would mean tearing away not only jobs and economic activity but also a beloved gathering spot that holds countless cherished memories for residents.
Mayor Mike Poirier's proposed changes are important, but they should not come at the expense of well-established and beloved local businesses. We need to seek alternative solutions that preserve both the progress of our city and the legacy of its small businesses.
Join us in urging the city decision-makers to reconsider the current plans and find a path that allows EZ's Burger Deluxe to continue serving the community as it has done for decades. Let's show our support for Ezetta and protect Wenatchee's cherished establishments. Sign the petition today to oppose the destruction of EZ's Burger Deluxe.
Your support can make a difference in keeping the spirit of Wenatchee alive and thriving. Please sign to help us protect what makes our city unique.
