FAT Brands Inc. and 15 other restaurant concepts, is coming to Florida with a 10-store franchise development deal in partnership with Whole Factor Inc. The Fatburger and Buffalo's Express Orlando locations are set to open over the next six years. While Buffalo's Express is known in the South through its full-service model, Buffalo's Cafe, this marks a significant move for Fatburger as it looks to further broaden its footprint outside of the West Coast. In November 2021, FAT Brands also announced that 25 Fatburger and Buffalo's Express locations are slated to open in Illinois over the next eight years.
