Marathon Burger, located at 7507 Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, recently expanded its menu to include a plant-based burger option, catering to both Nipsey Hussle’s fans and the city’s growing vegan and vegetarian community. This new addition aligns with the brand’s community-focused ethos, ensuring the menu is inclusive and accessible to a diverse range of dietary preferences.
Blacc Sam, Nipsey Hussle’s brother, expressed enthusiasm for Marathon Burger’s booming business, saying, “Come on man, you see it’s booming. Marathon Burgers, come on.” His hands-on approach at the restaurant reflects the family’s dedication to bringing Nipsey’s vision to life and supporting the community he loved.
Marathon Burger is the latest addition to The Marathon brand, which began with Marathon Clothing—a clothing line Nipsey launched in 2017. Known for its iconic “The Marathon Continues” motto, the brand represents Nipsey’s vision of perseverance, community empowerment, and economic independence. Even after his tragic death in 2019, The Marathon brand has grown, extending its reach through high-profile collaborations, including with Puma, and building a line that reflects Hussle’s entrepreneurial spirit and cultural impact.
The plant-based option at Marathon Burger underscores The Marathon brand’s commitment to innovation while honoring the late rapper’s mission to make positive, forward-thinking contributions to his neighborhood. Marathon Burger has become more than just a burger spot—it's a landmark that continues to celebrate Nipsey Hussle's legacy through food, community, and culture, embodying his dedication to giving back to South Los Angeles and inspiring future generations.
