Fuddruckers
We operate Fuddruckers Restaurants that specialize in large, high-quality hamburgers served in a casual, fast-service setting. Our menu also includes steak, chicken and fish sandwiches, hot dogs, french fries, onion rings, salads, bakery items, and beverages, including beer, wine, and mixed drinks where permitted. Each restaurant typically uses a walk-up ordering counter, a display cooking area, an on-premises bakery for fresh buns and desserts, a fresh vegetable and condiment island, and a beverage station. We aim to serve guests of all ages, with especially strong appeal to adults who want quick service, substantial food, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our restaurants are generally located in suburban commercial areas and designed to seat roughly 110 to 200 guests in spaces of about 3,000 to 5,500 square feet.
