FAT Brands is a leading global franchising company that strategically acquires, markets, and develops fast casual, quick-service, casual dining, and polished casual dining concepts around the world. The company currently owns 17 restaurant brands: Round Table Pizza, Fatburger, Marble Slab Creamery, Johnny Rockets, Fazoli’s, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Hot Dog on a Stick, Buffalo’s Cafe & Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Pretzelmaker, Elevation Burger, Native Grill & Wings, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses.
The FAT Brands company was incepted back in 2017 with the goal of becoming a global leader in the restaurant franchising space. What started as Fatburger (pre-FAT Brands), has grown to now 17 restaurant brands with over 2,300 locations around the world in 48 states and 40 countries. Over the last few years, the company has grown exponentially, acquiring nine news brands in the last two years coupled with an equally impressive organic pipeline of over 1,000 units. This year alone, FAT Brands is set to open approximately 150 restaurants, a new growth milestone for the company. This record-breaking growth has been achieved during one of the most unprecedented times in the restaurant space. From COVID restrictions to supply chain to inflation, the company has navigated these challenged head on, and has continued to bolster its portfolio of brands and open new restaurants.
While FAT Brands’ restaurant concepts are all philanthropic in nature and continually give back to their local communities, FAT Brands is taking this a step further with the newly formed FAT Brands Foundation, supporting the communities in which FAT Brands does business.
