FAT Brands CEO Andy Wiederhorn said: “FAT Brands is committed to an aggressive growth strategy, which underlies our strong M&A activity over the last year.
“When assessing potential acquisitions, we look to identify brands that not only complement our existing portfolio but also deliver high average unit volumes and a strong growth pipeline.
“Twin Peaks checks all of these boxes. This is a brand that we can grow globally at a fast pace, and we look forward to building upon the strong growth that was achieved under Garnett Station Partners.”
It will be the third acquisition for FAT Brands over the last 12 months.
In July, FAT Brands acquired Global Franchise Group (GFG), a move that added five new restaurant concepts to its portfolio.
