February 17, 2014

Houston-based Fuddruckers has finalized a new franchise agreement that will expand its Latin American footprint, according to a company press release. An initial, 10-unit partnership with South America's SRTC calls for locations throughout Chile, beginning with the country's first site in Santiago.

Founded 15 years ago, SRTC's secured the first international Ruby Tuesday's franchise in 1999, and owns and operates six brands with 20 restaurants and 700 employees, serving more than a million guests each year.

"Over the past two years, Fuddruckers has strategically entered franchise agreements to open territories in Southern Mexico, plus Panama, the Caribbean and Central America, in addition to debuting locations with franchise partners in Puerto Rico," said Peter Tropoli, COO of Luby's, Inc., which owns Fuddruckers. "We are thrilled to be expanding again with an established partner like SRTC that excels on a myriad of levels in the foodservice industry."
