Commenting on the development, Black Titan Investment president Nicholas Perkins said: “I am excited about becoming one of the largest Fuddruckers franchisees in the United States. A Fuddruckers hamburger, in my opinion, has always been the standard by which all other hamburgers should be judged.
“Fuddruckers has a tremendously loyal customer base that is passionate about the brand and the products they sell every day. I look forward to developing lasting relationships with Fuddruckers employees, customers, and vendor partners. I am keenly focused on the future of this tremendous legacy brand and building upon its rich history.”
In addition to Fuddruckers, Luby’s operates cafeteria chain Luby’s Cafeterias.
The company first announced the liquidation plan in September. It aims to generate $92m to $123m from the process.
