FAT Brands, the overseeing entity of Fatburger and Round Table Pizza, has revealed plans for a development agreement aiming to establish 40 fresh franchised Fatburger outlets throughout Northern California.
The move entails co-branding 40 existing Round Table Pizza locations with Fatburger over the next ten years, with the first co-branded site anticipated to open in 2024.
The company has joined forces with franchisee California Burger to facilitate its expansion.
Taylor Wiederhorn, FAT Brands’ chief development officer, remarked, “Following the inauguration of our initial co-branded Fatburger and Round Table Pizza in the Dallas region last year [in October 2023], we’ve observed considerable enthusiasm for this collaboration among our franchisees.”

Nestled within the Lantana neighborhood, this 3,500 square foot establishment provides patrons with a comprehensive, full-service, full-bar casual dining experience. It holds the distinction of being the inaugural destination in Lantana, Texas, to offer both burgers and pizzas under a single roof.
Wiederhorn added, “We are delighted to advance the expansion of the innovative co-branded model alongside California Burger Inc., which also oversees Circle Pizza LLC, the leading multi-unit operator of Round Table Pizza with more than 70 Round Table Pizza restaurants currently in operation.”
“We recognize significant potential for co-branded Fatburger and Round Table Pizza restaurants, leveraging the rich California heritage of both brands. This approach mirrors the success we’ve achieved with co-branded Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express locations, now exceeding 100 establishments globally.”
In March 2024, FAT Brands inaugurated a new restaurant in Orlando, further extending its presence in Florida.
The recent establishment at 1713 Future Way marked Fatburger’s debut in the Orlando region and stands as the second of 14 anticipated developments spanning Orlando and western Florida.
