Founded in 2017 following the strategic acquisition of Fatburger and Round Table Pizza, the company completed its initial public offering via a business combination in 2020. Since that time, FAT Brands has pursued an acquisition-led expansion strategy, adding units and master franchise rights across multiple continents. Key transactions have included the acquisitions of Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery in 2018, Pretzelmaker in 2019, and Johnny Rockets in early 2020. These additions have broadened the group’s menu offerings and bolstered its presence in both domestic and international markets.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, FAT Brands maintains a network of over 2,000 restaurants spanning North America, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. The company partners with restaurateurs and multi-unit franchisees to develop new territories and support existing operations. In each region, FAT Brands provides training, site selection assistance, and marketing programs designed to uphold brand standards and drive customer engagement.
Andy Wiederhorn, a veteran restaurateur and private-equity investor, serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, FAT Brands has built a centralized operating platform that aims to deliver cost synergies, improved purchasing leverage, and digital ordering capabilities across its portfolio. Supported by an experienced management team, the company continues to explore growth opportunities through franchising, acquisitions and international market entry.
