# Popular Valencia Eatery, Slater’s 50/50 Celebrates First Anniversary

**TL;DR:** Slater's 50/50, a restaurant franchise, is celebrating its first anniversary in Valencia, California, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and special promotions. The Valencia location, owned and operated by Homayoun Daryani, has thrived despite opening during the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Story

The restaurant, located in the Westfield Valencia Town Center, will kick off the anniversary celebration with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, June 28th at 5:30pm with the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce. For the public, guests who dine at Slater’s Valencia from Tuesday, June 29th - July 4th will receive a free slice of cake. The restaurant will also serve a limited time United Shake of Slater’s that is appropriately 4th of July themed and starts with a strawberry shake topped with whip cream, star sprinkles, a cherry and a bomb pop for $14.

First opening in June 2020, and amid the COVID-pandemic, franchise owner and operator Homayoun Daryani was committed to bringing over-the-top burgers and local craft beer to the community, and with one year under his belt, “we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this milestone with our guests who have welcomed and supported us over the past year,” said Homayoun Daryani, owner and operator of the Valencia location. “Opening during the pandemic was risky, but we’ve thrived despite the challenges this year and are proud and thrilled to have this opportunity to commemorate this anniversary with our Slater’s fans and friends!”

The 8,000 square foot Valencia location boasts a large dining room, three patios, and 40 different self-serve beer taps from local Santa Clarita-based breweries. The restaurant also features a shake and espresso bar that opens directly into the Valencia Town Center so shoppers can order a decadent milkshake or coffee drink to enjoy on-the-go.

Slater’s 50/50 was founded in 2009 and built on a passion for all things burgers, bacon, and beer. The restaurant quickly became famous for its original 50/50 patty made of 50% ground bacon and 50% ground beef, with the menu evolving to include an array of inconceivably “slaterized” items like award-winning burgers, over-the-top salads, amped-up milkshakes, and a wide array of beers on tap. Fan-favorite menu items include the iconic Original 50/50 Burger, ice cream-topped PB & Jellousy Burger, the Ultimate S’more Shake, and the Hickory-Smoked Bacon Bloody Mary.

Slater’s 50/50 Valencia is located at 24201 Valencia Blvd. Unit 101, Valencia, CA 91355 and is open Sunday-Saturday from 11a.m. to 10 p.m.
