Burgery

It took me a few seconds to decipher what I saw on a sign today: Burgery. I first thought it could be an English word to denote a place where (ham)burgers are prepared and sold, i.e, a diner, a fast food joint, with the y suffix found in words like bakery, eatery, butchery, etc., but then it finally dawned on me that it is the Czech plural of burger.
