FAT Brands co-chief executive officer Rob Rosen said, “While franchise interest remains high across all of our brands, we continue to be focused on the expansion of Twin Peaks. This year, we plan to open 15 to 17 new lodges, of which 11 have been opened so far.
“We expect to end the year with over 110 lodges, a 35% increase since acquiring the brand in 2021.
