The state of Louisiana welcomed its first Fatburger and Buffalo's Express co-branded unit earlier this month in Alexandria, according to a company press release.

"Louisianians know delicious food, and we expect to instantly become a local favorite as we open for the first time in the state," Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands — the chains' parent company — said in the release. "We see enormous potential as we move into the up-and-coming city of Alexandria, especially after our great successes in outer markets."

FAT Brands, which announced Friday that it was merging with Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc., owns Fatburger, Johnny Rockets, Buffalo's Cafe, Buffalo's Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Elevation Burger, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses. It franchises over 675 units worldwide.
