RIVERVIEW, Fla. — Following on the back of Dave's Hot Chicken opening in Tampa, hungry customers can now expect to chow down on some food from Fatburger when a location opens in Riverview later this month.
Fatburger will be officially opening on June 22 in Riverview, located at 9950 Upper Alafia Ct. This is one of four planned locations set to open in the Tampa Bay area, which was announced back in June 2022.
“We are heavily invested in growing the Fatburger brand in Florida,” Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands’ Fast Casual Division, said in a statement. “Making our return to the state after two decades is incredibly rewarding, especially with a committed, experienced partner like Whole Factor Inc., who will be opening 13 more units in Florida.
"Fans have been eagerly waiting for us and the time has finally come for them to grab their favorite burgers, fries, and milkshakes!”
A grand opening celebration will be held two days after the opening on June 24. The first 100 customers will receive an Original Fatburger.
People can also look forward to scoring a free drink with any purchase all day long, and there will be branded shirts and bumper stickers being handed out as well.
Fatburger first came to the Tampa area back in 2003 with customers being able to head over to International Plaza and Clearwater Mall, the Tampa Bay Times explains. But those locations have since closed.
"The hype surrounding this opening only continues to grow and the all-American burger chain wants to roll out the works for its fans," an email from the company read, in part.
Along with the four locations in the Tampa Bay area, Fatburger fans in Orlando will be able to grab some grub from 10 locations coming to their area in the near future.
Ever since opening the first Fatburger location 70 years ago in Los Angeles, the chain has opened multiple locations across the world being known for its burgers.
