Insights
A new store opening in Chicago represents marginal growth for FAT Brands, which already operates over 2,300 units worldwide. While franchise expansion shows business momentum, individual store openings typically have minimal impact on overall company financials. The Chatham location's extended operating hours (until 4-5 AM) could drive higher revenue compared to standard locations, but one store's contribution remains small relative to the company's scale.
The co-branding strategy with Buffalo's Express demonstrates FAT Brands' focus on maximizing revenue per location through complementary offerings. Partnership with an award-winning local franchisee may improve execution and community reception, though market saturation in Chicago could limit growth potential. The free fries promotion for the grand opening suggests standard marketing tactics rather than innovative customer acquisition strategies.
