By GlobalDataIn addition to the new restaurants, the company is also planning to open several ghost kitchens.
Once opened, customers will be able to place their orders in-person, at an ordering kiosk at the ghost kitchen location, as well as through the company’s website or mobile app.
The order can either be collected by the customer or delivered to them.
Brookfield Properties Business Development vice-president Michelle Isabel said: “Through our Partner to Empower Program, we are committed to partnering with black and minority-owned businesses, and it is incredibly exciting for us to collaborate with Fuddruckers on this expansion.
“We look forward to adding ten new Fuddruckers in our portfolio. We know our communities will enjoy the new addition.”
The company plans to open its ghost kitchens in Texas, at locations in Houston, Plano, Frisco and Austin.
Last March, US-based restaurant operator Luby’s divested a number of company-owned Fuddruckers restaurants and the franchise of those restaurants to affiliates of Black Titan Holdings.
