FAT Brands Transaction

FAT Brands Inc, a multi-brand franchisor and operator of quick-service and casual dining restaurants, completed sales of substantially all its assets through a series of Section 363 transactions. The asset sales closed in June 2026 and a Plan of Liquidation went effective in July.

Most of the Company’s assets were acquired by entities backed by an ad hoc group of pre-petition noteholders. The Company’s Hot Dog on a Stick and Elevation Burger brands were sold to third-party cash buyers.

FAT Brands’ platform included more than 2,000 units across 14 brands, including Round Table Pizza, Fatburger, Johnny Rockets, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Marble Slab Creamery, Fazoli’s, and Hot Dog on a Stick, among others.
