March 18, 2025 // Franchising.com // Irvine, CA —The results are in. The happiest places in the U.S. have one delicious thing in common: Habit Burger & Grill. A new report ranking the happiest cities in the U.S. shows a perfect correlation between happiness and Habit, with the top three spots all home to Habit’s signature chargrilled flavor and award-winning burgers.

#1 Happiest City: Fremont, CA – Home to a Habit
#2 Happiest City: San Jose, CA – Also home to a Habit
#3 Happiest City: Irvine, CA – Habit HQ, baby!

But at the bottom of the happiness ranking? Cleveland, OH, a city without a Habit Burger Grill. Coincidence? We think not.

“Our perfect correlation between happiness and Habit might not be scientific, but let’s be honest—when you’re biting into a freshly chargrilled Double Charburger, life is just better,” said Jack Hinchliffe, Chief Marketing Officer at Habit & Burger Grill. “Cleveland, we see you. And we have a feeling this happiness gap might be something we can fix.”

What exactly does that mean? Well, let’s just say Habit believes everyone deserves a taste the #1-ranked* Double Charburger—wherever they are. But it’s clear that the char-to-joy ratio is undeniable; every city that ranks high on happiness has a Habit, and the one at the bottom doesn’t. That’s some serious food for thought.

For now, we’ll let the numbers speak for themselves. But if you're in Cleveland and suddenly find yourself craving a fresh, chargrilled-to-order Double Charburger, we’d say... stay tuned.
