Fatburger

1.0
Fast Food

US burger chain founded 1947. Its parent, FAT Brands Inc., filed Chapter 11 in January 2026 and sold Fatburger (with 12 other concepts) to FBG Bid Co., a lender-backed ownership group, via a $595M credit-bid sale completed June 2026. Wholly foreign both before and after the sale — no change to Control, just a new (now-settled) foreign parent.
