Fatburger now serving Abu Dhabi

January 7, 2014

Fatburger has opened its first location in the United Arab Emirates' second-largest city, Abu Dhabi. The better-burger restaurant was brought to the city by Vetra Investments, a hospitality and foodservice specialist based in Dubai, according to a company press release. The company also operates 10 other Fatburger units in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Amman, Jordan and Beirut, Lebanon.

Fatburger has been expanding its footprint recently in United Arab Emirates, with Abu Dhabi being its eighth location there. In addition to its growth in United Arab Emirates, the 62-year old brand also recently opened restaurants in Istanbul, Turkey, and Sidi Bou, Tunisia. It also operates in 29 countries with about half its locations based overseas. Focused on global expansion, Fatburger continues to concentrate on widening its worldwide presence with over 300 new units in development in such regions as the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North Africa, said CEO Andy Wiederhorn.

"We have had a great response to Fatburger's presence in United Arab Emirates and are pleased to have the opportunity to open our first unit in Abu Dhabi," he said in a company press release. "We are sure that this location will be a great success and are proud to serve the residents of United Arab Emirates' bustling capital city."
