FAT Brands Inc., parent company of Fatburger and Buffalo's Express, is developing three co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo's Express concepts in Wichita, Kansas. In partnership with Uncle John's Brands LLC, the restaurants will start to roll-out next year.

"In 2020, we significantly grew our presence of co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo's Express, opening many locations both domestically and internationally," FAT Brands CEO Andy Wiederhorn said in a company press release. "Burgers and wings complement each other well and the demand is there from a franchisee perspective. We have been eyeing Kansas for some time and think both brands will be received well in the bustling city of Wichita."

FAT Brands, which also owns Johnny Rockets, Buffalo's Cafe, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Elevation Burger, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses, franchises over 675 units worldwide.
