Denver-based Smashburger, which had planned to open its first Arizona restaurant Thursday in Tempe, has delayed that opening until next Wednesday, Oct. 7. The restaurant will be at 777 E. College Ave., near Arizona State University.

Another incoming burger chain, Virginia-based Five Guys, has numerous “Coming Soon” plastered on its first Arizona location on Mill Avenue. A spokesman says the Tempe location will open in early December “at the earliest” — and maybe not until early 2010.
