FAT Brands, the parent company of the Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express restaurant concepts, has signed a franchise development agreement with Whole Factor in Tampa, Florida, US.
Under the agreement, four new co-branded stores will be opened in the Tampa region over the next three years.
FAT Brands chief development officer Taylor Wiederhorn said: “We see Florida as a strong growth market for Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express and are pleased to have a partner like Whole Factor to bring 14 locations to the state over the next several years.
“We continually hear from our fans that they are eager for us to open in Florida, so we hope that they are just as excited as we are now that we are not only coming to Orlando but also Tampa.”
The deal supports FAT Brands’ aim to further expand its presence in the state.
Once opened, the new co-branded stores will offer Fatburger’s menu, which includes burgers, fries, onion rings made from scratch, sandwiches and milkshakes.
