Beloved Burger Chain Continues to Sizzle in the Lone Star State with Latest San Antonio Area Opening

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc. announces the opening of the latest Fatburger and Buffalo's Express location in the greater San Antonio area in New Braunfels, TX. This marks the 10^th location in the state of Texas, which continues to be a high-growth area for the California-born burger brand.

Since we first landed in Texas, we have developed a loyal fanbase who seeks us out for our made-to-order burgers and premium toppings, said Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands' Fast Casual Division. Looking ahead, we are just getting started from a growth perspective with over 40 locations slated to open across the state in the coming years.

Ever since the first Fatburger opened in Los Angeles over 70 years ago, the chain has been known for its delicious, grilled-to-perfection and cooked to order burgers. Founder Lovie Yancey believed that a big burger with everything on it is a meal in itself. At Fatburger, everything is not just the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, pickles and relish. Burgers can be customized with toppings including bacon and eggs. In addition to its famous burgers, the Fatburger menu also includes Fat and Skinny Fries, turkeyburgers, hand-breaded crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-scooped milkshakes made from 100% real ice cream.

A perfect complement to Fatburger, Buffalo's Express' menu includes delicious bone-in and boneless chicken wings accompanied by a wide range of sauces. All of Buffalo's Express' wings are served with celery, carrots, and blue cheese or ranch dressing.
