History
In 2011, an equity group that includes Paul Wahlberg, Donnie Wahlberg, and Mark Wahlberg licensed the name "Wahlburger" from Tom Wahl's for use in their own restaurant. The family also owns and operates another restaurant named Alma Nove, which opened prior to Wahlburgers. Its name is derived from the name of the brothers' mother and the fact that she had nine children ("nove" being Italian for nine). The first Wahlburgers opened in Hingham, Massachusetts, near Alma Nove, the pre-existing restaurant operated by Paul Wahlberg.
Because of the success of the restaurant, a reality television series Wahlburgers was launched on January 22, 2014 on A&E. In 2014, Wahlburgers received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program. The show concluded in 2019 after 10 seasons.
