Blacksheep Hospitality Group LLC has signed a franchise agreement that will bring a dozen co-branded Fatburger and Round Table Pizza franchised restaurants to the Beehive State over the next six years, with the first unit set to open early next year. The new restaurants will offer menus from both of the California-born franchise restaurant chains, according to a release from FAT Brands Inc., parent company of the two brands.
“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, which owns 16 other restaurant chains. “This momentum can be attributed to the model’s success right out of the gate in Texas.”
Fatburger opened its first restaurant in Los Angeles more than 70 years ago and features burgers with more than the standard set of condiments, along with turkeyburgers, chicken sandwiches and a variety of French fries. Founded in 1959, Round Table Pizza touts its homemade dough, calling its product the “Royalty of Pizza.”
