FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc.,parent company of Fatburger, Buffalo’s Express, and 15 other restaurant concepts, has announced a new development deal to expand its presence in Alaska with three new locations set to open over the next three and a half years. In partnership with Franchisee Robert Monteith, the development deal will increase the total unit count of Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express locations in Alaska to four. In 2020, Monteith introduced the two all-American brands to the state, opening in Fairbanks.
“A key part of our growth model at FAT Brands is building upon our existing partnerships with franchisees,” said Taylor Wiederhorn, chief development officer of FAT Brands. “Robert has been a great partner in introducing Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express to Alaskans, and the fact that he is set to bring three additional locations two years after debuting in the state, speaks volumes to the success we have had in the market to date.”
