Sounds like there might be something unsavory going on at the Coney Island location of Wahlburgers.
Wahlburgers Franchising has been slapped with a class-action lawsuit by a group of former employees who claim that the Coney Island branch stiffed workers out of pay in a variety of ways.
The restaurant chain founded by “Boogie Nights” actor Mark Wahlberg and his brothers Donnie and Paul is at the center of the A&E reality series “Wahlburgers.”
According to the suit, the first Wahlburgers franchise in New York opened in September 2015 in Coney Island, and since then has been “rampant with wage theft and violations of federal and state labor law.”
