FAT Brands Inc., a global restaurant franchising company behind Fatburger, Buffalo’s Express, and Hot Dog On A Stick, is opening a new three-in-one restaurant in Valley Village, located at 4806 Laurel Canyon Blvd.
This will be the first time the brand brings all three restaurants under one roof. Franchisee Arman Boghosian tells What Now Los Angeles he hopes to open the new restaurant sometime in December, possibly January 2023. FAT Brands has previously housed Fatburgers and Buffalo’s Expresses under the same roof, but never with Hot Dog on a Stick. Now, the company will take a chance by bringing their burgers, chicken, and hot dogs together in one place.
“I am very excited about being the first franchisee to build a tri-brand store for the company,” Boghosian tells What Now Los Angeles. “Although I’ve opened other Fatburger locations, this will be the first with all three brands – Fatburger/Buffalos/Hot Dog On A Stick. I think people will love seeing all three concepts in one spot, and it will change the game in the industry.”
This is the first of many for FAT Brands, which also franchises through Marble Slab Creamery, Johnny Rockets, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Great American Cookies, Round Table Pizza, and many more. The company recently acquired Fazoli’s, Twin Peaks, Native Grill & Wings, and five other QSR brands within the Global Franchise Group, bringing the total number of brands to 17. FAT Brands recently announced plans to open 900 new restaurants in five years, including 50 to 60 units currently under construction that are expected to open in 2023.
