Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express Plan 25 New Co-Branded Locations in Illinois

Los AngelesFAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc., parent company of Fatburger, Buffalo’s Express and 13 other restaurant concepts, is heading to Illinois with a newly inked deal in partnership with A.D.T.J. Development LLC to open 25 Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express stores throughout the state of Illinois — in particular, in Chicago and the surrounding area.

The locations are slated to open over the next 8 years. Both the Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express brands have been populating the West Coast, East Coast and regions in the South. This will be FAT Brands’ largest presence in Illinois to date and signals a substantial move into the Midwest markets.

“The city of Chicago has a vibrant restaurant scene and has welcomed fast-casual eateries over the past decade. It’s an exciting time for FAT Brands to be growing our presence in the area,” says FAT Brands CEO Andy Wiederhorn. “We are eager to plant our roots down in Chicago and the state as a whole.”
