Hollywood Favorite, Fatburger, Arrives in Orlando

Beloved Burger Chain Cooks Up Free Burgers on March 2 to Commemorate Celebration Location

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc. announces the opening of the latest Fatburger location in Celebration, FL. The highly anticipated opening marks the iconic burger brand’s debut in the Orlando area and is the second of 14 locations under development in Orlando and western Florida.

“Ever since we announced Fatburger’s growth plans in Florida in early 2022, locals have been eager for our arrival,” said Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands’ Fast Casual Division. “We brought our iconic burgers to Tampa last year, and now the wait is finally over for the Orlando community. Like Tampa, we expect a great turnout for our food that made us famous—our custom-built burgers, Fat Fries, and hand-scooped milkshakes.”

Ever since the first Fatburger opened in Los Angeles over 70 years ago, the chain has been known for its delicious, grilled-to-perfection and cooked to order burgers. Founder Lovie Yancey believed that a big burger with everything on it is a meal in itself. At Fatburger, “everything” is not just the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, pickles and relish. Burgers can be customized with toppings including bacon and eggs. In addition to its famous burgers, the Fatburger menu also includes Fat and Skinny Fries, turkeyburgers, hand-breaded crispy chicken sandwiches, and hand-scooped milkshakes made from 100% real ice cream.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring such a beloved brand like Fatburger to the Orlando area,” said Fatburger Celebration franchisee, Ravi Singh. “I grew up on Fatburger, and to give the community something that they have been craving for some time is incredibly rewarding. We look forward to a great opening week filled with delicious food deals for our fans.”

The Celebration Fatburger is located at 1713 Future Way, Celebration, FL., and is open 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. daily. A grand opening celebration will be held on March 2 where the first 100 customers will receive a free Original Fatburger. Guests can also score free fries with any purchase through the day.
