FAT Brands chief development officer Taylor Wiederhorn said: “The demand for high-quality, quick-service concepts in Puerto Rico only continues to grow, so we anticipate a strong reception for Fazoli’s when we make our official debut on the island.

“This development deal is also significant as it serves as a strong foundation for growing Fazoli’s on an international scale, which is a key strategic growth pillar for the brand.”

Founded in 1988 in Lexington, Kentucky, US, Fazoli’s serves Italian food that includes freshly prepared pasta entrees, Submarinos sandwiches, salads, breadsticks, pizzas and desserts.
