Fatburger

Franchise Overview

This fast-casual burger concept has been serving made-to-order burgers since the early 1950s and has grown into a globally recognized brand under parent company FAT Brands. The business model centers on customizable, fresh-cooked hamburgers using 100% pure lean beef, complemented by hand-scooped milkshakes, seasoned fries, and an expanding menu of plant-based alternatives including Impossible Burger options and dairy-free shakes. Franchisees benefit from a well-established brand with decades of consumer recognition and an international footprint spanning North America, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

Locations operate as freestanding restaurants and can share space with compatible co-tenants in inline or strip-center formats. The franchise system provides operational support, marketing resources, and vendor relationships to help franchisees maintain consistent quality. The brand appeals to a broad customer base seeking premium fast-casual burgers in a casual, welcoming environment.
