Burger and pizza concept to arrive in Utah
FAT (Fresh, Authentic, Tasty) Brands Inc. is combining two of its restaurants into a new co-branded concept that will debut in Utah.
The parent company of Fatburger, Round Table Pizza and 16 other restaurant concepts, announces a new development deal set to bring the California-based pizza and burger chains to Utah. In partnership with franchisee Blacksheep Hospitality Group, LLC, the new deal will bring a total of 12 co-branded Fatburger and Round Table Pizza franchised restaurants to the Beehive State over the next six years. The first unit is set to open in 2025.
Founded in Los Angeles over 70 years ago, Fatburger is known for its cooked-to-order, customizable burgers. In addition to its famous burgers, the Fatburger menu also includes french fries, turkey burgers, hand-breaded crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-scooped milkshakes.
Since its founding in 1959, Round Table Pizza has been recognized for its homemade dough made from scratch and rolled fresh daily as well as for its dedication to using high-quality ingredients.
“Since debuting the Fatburger and Round Table Pizza co-branded pairing last year, we now have over 50 plus units in the development pipeline,” said Taylor Wiederhorn, chief development officer of FAT Brands. “This momentum can be attributed to the model’s success right out of the gate in Texas. Shelby Jobe and his team opened the first co-branded store in Texas, and we are confident that he will be just as successful in expanding the concept throughout Utah with Blacksheep Hospitality Group, LLC.”
FAT Brands owns 18 restaurant brands: Round Table Pizza, Fatburger, Marble Slab Creamery, Johnny Rockets, Fazoli’s, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Smokey Bones, Hot Dog on a Stick, Buffalo’s Cafe & Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Pretzelmaker, Elevation Burger, Native Grill & Wings, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses. It franchises and owns over 2,300 units worldwide.
