Fat Brands to make debut in Louisiana, North Texas

FAT Brands Inc., parent company of Fazoli’s and 16 other restaurant concepts, announces two franchise development agreements to bring Fazoli’s to Denton, Texas and Shreveport, Louisiana. Both the Denton, Texas location and the first of the two Shreveport, Louisiana locations are slated to open by the end of 2023. "Since integrating Fazoli’s into the FAT Brands portfolio, we have been looking for the right strategic opportunities to grow the brand," said Taylor Wiederhorn, Chief Development Officer of FAT Brands. "Texas continues to be a market that we are focused on across the board, so we are excited to add another brand of ours in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Similarly, another key area of emphasis is expanding with our existing franchisee base. Chris and Kristen Simmons are long-time Marble Slab Creamery operators in Louisiana who saw the value in diversifying the concepts they are operating under FAT Brands."
