Kentucky-based Fazoli's, which has 220 restaurants in 27 states, is opening 25 locations in Canada over the next 10 years thanks to a partnership with Briwin Restaurants. The first will open in 2025 in the province of Alberta.

"Fazoli's has enjoyed tremendous success expanding domestically, operating in 26 states with over 200 locations, and is now well positioned to make its international debut," Taylor Wiederhorn, CDO of FAT Brands, the parent company of Fazoli's, said in a company press release. "At FAT Brands, we have a strong network of international franchisees that span across nearly all our restaurant concepts. We're excited to have an experienced operator come from within our Fatburger franchise system and commit to launching and developing an additional FAT Brands restaurant concept in Canada. We are confident that expanding in Canada is a natural first step for Fazoli's in becoming a leading global chain."

FAT Brands owns 18 restaurant brands: Round Table Pizza, Fatburger, Marble Slab Creamery, Johnny Rockets, Fazoli's, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Smokey Bones, Hot Dog on a Stick, Buffalo's Cafe & Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Native Grill & Wings, Pretzelmaker, Elevation Burger, Yalla Mediterranean and Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses
