FAT Brands Inc., parent company of Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express, will open six franchised locations in the Sacramento area in partnership with franchisee Raj Pooni.
The co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express locations will open over the next six years with the first location coming by the end of 2023, according to a press release.
“Fatburger is synonymous with California, so it is only fitting for us to expand further around the capital city, Sacramento,” Taylor Wiederhorn, CDO of FAT Brands, said in the release. “We are also pleased to have an existing franchise partner, Raj Pooni, who operates a Round Table Pizza location in the area, to open these new units. This speaks to our synergistic growth model of having our franchisees diversify their restaurant portfolios with additional FAT Brands concepts.”
FAT Brands also owns Round Table Pizza, Marble Slab Creamery, Johnny Rockets, Fazoli’s, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Hot Dog on a Stick, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Pretzelmaker, Elevation Burger, Native Grill & Wings, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses.
