Demographically, Fatburger’s appeal is limitless.  Our customers come from every walk of life, including families, teenagers, seniors, people from all income levels and ethnic background, and importantly, everyone who loves a good hamburger.

Premium Ingredients. We start with fresh, never frozen Alberta Angus beef that is free from additives, binders and fillers. Our patties are cooked-to-order and never stored under a heat-lamp. Then we add fresh cut lettuce, tomatoes, onions and your choice of favourite free toppings. We even hand-bread our chicken tenders and onion rings. One bite and you’ll know why Fatburger has been legendary since 1952.

A typical Fatburger requires a total investment in the range of $450,000—$750,000 (less for food courts). A cash equity investment of $250,000—$350,000* is required.

There is a one-time franchisee fee of $50,000 Ongoing Royalties 6%, Marketing 3% (2% national fund, 1% local community marketing.

We have relationships with 3 national banks: TD (Toronto Dominion), BMO (Bank of Montreal) & RBC (Royal Bank of Canada). Each Franchisee is required to qualify for financing on their own merit.

The factors that influence profits are: quality of management, quality of location, operational standards of excellence, local & national economic factors, and the competitive environment in the local market.

We prefer to locate our restaurants in metro & urban mixed use developments and suburban retail centres. It’s our intention to continue our brand development in the West, and further introduce Fatburger to Eastern Canada and the Maritime provinces.
