Its adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation for the quarter stood at $27m, up from $19.6m in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022.

FAT Brands co-CEO Ken Kuick said: “While franchise interest remains high across all of our brands, we continue to be focused on the expansion of Twin Peaks. This year we opened 14 new lodges and ended the year with 109 lodges, a 33% increase since acquiring the brand in 2021.

“Our growth pipeline includes 113 lodges and the Smokey Bones’ healthy real estate portfolio provides us with the opportunity to convert locations into Twin Peaks lodges, with the potential to significantly accelerate the growth of the brand.”
