“I operate several, successful Fatburgers out of my truck stops throughout California and have been a loyal franchisee for over a decade. Through my wonderful experience with the Fatburger team, I have referred several friends to become franchisees themselves. My truck stops aim to cater to the needs of all travelers, whether local or passing through, with a place to refuel, grab some snacks and refreshments, and dining. While our food court offers several options for dining, Fatburger stands out above the rest. Nothing is more quintessential American and the perfect road trip food than a burger, fries, and a milkshake...Fatburger provides the comfort food travelers seek and leave them feeling satisfied and excited to continue their day.”
