In February 2019, Beverly Hills, CA-based FAT Brands announced plans to continue its expansion into the Indian fast-food market. Recognizing continued growth in India, the company plans to co-brand two of its American cuisine giants, Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express, and build sixty more restaurants throughout India over the next ten years.
Opening its first restaurant in Gurgaon in 2014, Fatburger features authentic American cuisine of burgers, fries, and milkshakes. It has become a family favorite with menu items featuring chicken and lamb burgers, onion rings, as well as vegetarian options, all mixed with traditional Indian spices. Buffalo’s Express adds to the variety by offering its well-known chicken wings and specialty sauces.
FAT Brands will work with Franglobal Advisors Partners Limited, a franchise firm based in Faridabad, Haryana, to develop its new co-branded restaurants. Andy Wiederhorn, chief executive of FAT Brands, echoed the excitement of expansion in his statement, “We have found the perfect partner in Franglobal Advisors Private Ltd. and are thrilled to continue development in India for years to come.”
