What’s happening?
Milky Lane has confirmed Townsville as one of the new Queensland venues in its national expansion.
The Australian burger chain is also opening venues in Toowoomba and on the Sunshine Coast. Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast are expected to open in the coming months, while Townsville has also been locked in for the rollout.
More Queensland locations are expected to be revealed soon, as the brand treats the state as a core market.
Milky Lane is known for burgers, cocktails, desserts and a high-energy dining style. Its venues mix food, music and pop culture, with hip-hop influences and graffiti-style art.
Why it matters?
Townsville’s inclusion shows the city is part of Milky Lane’s next growth push in Queensland.
The announcement adds another national hospitality name to Townsville’s food and dining scene. It also points to growing interest in regional cities as places for larger brands to expand.
For local diners, the new venue will bring a social dining option built around burgers, desserts, cocktails and music.
Local Impact
Townsville locals will gain access to the Milky Lane experience without travelling to other Queensland markets.
The new venue is expected to follow the brand’s signature format, combining burgers, drinks, desserts and pop culture themes. It will add another casual dining choice for nights out, group meals and celebrations.
The Townsville venue also places the city alongside Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast in Milky Lane’s latest Queensland rollout.
By The Numbers
- One Townsville venue has been confirmed as part of Milky Lane’s Queensland expansion.
- Three Queensland venues have been named so far, with Townsville, Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast included.
- Twenty-six new venues are planned across Australia as part of Milky Lane’s major national growth phase.
Zoom In
Townsville is now firmly on Milky Lane’s Queensland expansion map.
The brand has not yet released the exact Townsville address or opening date. However, its confirmation gives local diners a clear sign that the venue is coming.
Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast will open in the coming months, making them the first confirmed Queensland sites in this stage of the rollout.
Zoom Out
Milky Lane has grown into one of Australia’s most recognisable burger chains since opening its first venue in 2016.

The chain has also built a strong public following, attracting celebrity guests including Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Sean Kingston and Bow Wow.
