## Story

The co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express restaurant has opened in North Richland Hills – the first to open in the Lone Star State

The co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express restaurant has opened in North Richland Hills – the first to open in the Lone Star State.

“Many things have changed during the pandemic, but not Americans’ love for delicious, freshly made burgers or spicy and flavorful chicken wings,” said Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands, the parent company of both Fatburger and Buffalo Express. “We’re excited to open our first Texas location, a co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express, to help satisfy that hunger.”

The first Fatburger opened in Hollywood more than 70 years ago, and since then the chain has built a global reputation and consumer demand for its burgers.

Buffalo’s Express is known for its menu consisting of bone-in or boneless wings accompanied by a range of sauces.

FAT Brands is a global franchising company that acquires, markets and develops fast casual and casual dining restaurant concepts around the world. The company currently owns eight restaurant brands, including Fatburger, Buffalo’s Cafe, Buffalo’s Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Elevation Burger, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses, and franchises over 375 units worldwide.
