Fat Patty’s Ready to Bring Patty Perfection to Sizzling New Markets Through Franchising
The full-service specialty burger bar is targeting franchise partners to open new locations nationwide
Jacksonville, FL (RestaurantNews.com) Fat Patty’s, the “home away from home” neighborhood restaurant and bar serving up specialty burgers and ‘munchies’, is looking to expand their footprint nationwide through franchising. Boasting a diverse, thoughtfully crafted menu, a proven model of success, and a loyal customer following in West Virginia and Kentucky, the brand is now focused on seeking franchise partners to join them in growing the brand’s presence throughout the country.
The burger industry revenue has grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.8% over the past five years, reaching an estimated $166.1 billion in 2024, and Fat Patty’s has carved a niche in the growing market. The brand is dedicated to becoming a second home and welcoming neighborhood spot where guests can enjoy a delicious meal and beverage while catching the game, or hanging out in ‘The Yard’ playing games with loved ones. Fat Patty’s currently has five locations open and operating, with one in development in Toms River, New Jersey, and has identified the South and East Coast as prime territories for growth, with an incredible amount of white space to develop.
Boasting a strong AUV of over $2 million, based on 2023 franchisee performance detailed in the December 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document (individual results may vary), the brand has prioritized building a strong support and training system since launching franchise opportunities in 2022. Key elements of Fat Patty’s franchising opportunity include updated technology to simplify day-to-day operations, a comprehensive leadership team to help franchise partners achieve individual success, and a fun and collaborative culture to deliver a superior experience for both owners and guests.
“Over the past few years, we’ve completed efforts in branding, menu innovation, and restaurant design to solidify our position in the industry,” said Sean Oatney, Chief Development Officer at Fat Patty’s. “Fat Patty’s has untapped potential in markets throughout the country, offering an incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs to join us from the ground up, whether you’re looking to grow your portfolio or open your first franchise.”
Fat Patty’s menu boasts 18 meticulously crafted specialty burgers, blending traditional comfort with creative flair, like the “Jammin’ Patty,” a savory and sweet burger with house-made bacon jam, beer cheese, bacon, crispy fried onions, and garlic aioli, and the “Bacon Mac Patty,” featuring three cheese mac and cheese, bacon, barbecue sauce, crispy fried onions, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Beyond their fresh never frozen burgers, Fat Patty’s looks to appeal to all, through their different ‘munchies’ like the “Chicken Tinga Trash Can Nachos,” salads, pizzas, sandwiches, and much more, ensuring every guest can find an option to suit their taste buds and keep them coming back for more. As part of their commitment to menu innovation, Fat Patty’s conducts one menu refresh and showcases a new FAT’s feature item monthly to maintain guest engagement and stay relevant in the changing industry. This dedication to continuous evolution increases return visits and ROI for franchise owners, building a loyal consumer base to tap into.
“Burgers are available in thousands of restaurants across the country, but nothing like what Fat Patty’s has to offer,” said Yannick Bastein, CEO of Fat Patty’s. “Our burgers go beyond the bun and basics, creating unexpected flavor profiles for a unique and bold combination. Fat Patty’s was created to unite burger lovers over a new and innovative take on a well-loved classic, and we can’t wait to share our creations with food lovers nationwide.”
Fat Patty’s truly believes their franchise partners have the best ideas, and actively encourages feedback and input for a collaborative culture to propel success for the entire system. The brand aims to foster a community where franchise owners work together, support one another, and succeed as a unified team. Fat Patty’s is actively seeking entrepreneurs with restaurant experience and the ‘two P’s’: Passion and Pace, who will be hands-on in managing the operations of the business. The brand is eager to find dedicated partners to join them on their expansion journey and offers lower and discounted costs for second generation builds and veterans.
