AUSTIN, Texas —After 80 years, Hut’s Hamburgers will be closing its West 6th location on October 20, according to a press release.

  • Hut's Hamburgers closing West 6th location
  • Last day is October 20
  • Favorites Package Store also closing

“Hut’s has been a major part of our lives and we have loved running the business, but after 38 years, we are ready to move in a different direction. We have appreciated all of our wonderful customers” said Mike Hutchinson. “We have an excellent relationship with our landlord, the Josephs, but it is just time for us to move on.”

However, Hut’s Hamburgers' legacy will live on at its newest location at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

 

 

Favorite Package Store will also close at the end of the year. The property where both Hut’s and Favorite Package Store sit is owned by the Joseph family.

“When it was realized that both businesses would be closing, we considered many options and decided to work with a local restaurateur and friend to write the next chapter at 6th and West Avenue. We are honored to pass the torch from one local operator to another,” said Sammie Joseph Jr.

Hut’s owners Mike and Kim Hutchinson have been serving Austinites hamburgers since taking over the business in 1981.
