Los Angeles-based FAT Brands Inc., the parent company of Fatburger, Round Table Pizza and 16 other restaurant concepts, has signed a deal with California Burger Inc. to add 40 Fatburgers within the franchisee's existing Round Table Pizza locations over the next 10 years. The first will open by year's end.

"Since opening our first co-branded Fatburger and Round Table Pizza in the Dallas area last year, we have seen significant interest in this pairing from our franchisee base," Taylor Wiederhorn, CDO of FAT Brands, said in a company press release. "We are pleased to further the growth of this new co-branded model with California Burger, Inc. who also operates Circle Pizza LLC, the largest multi-unit operator of Round Table Pizza with over 70 Round Table Pizza restaurants in operation. We see great potential for Fatburger and Round Table Pizza co-branded restaurants given both brands' California heritage.

The strategy is similar to the company's co-branded locations of Fatburger and Buffalo's Express, which now number over 100 locations.
