The parent company of popular burger chain Fatburger saw its shares skyrocket more than 200 percent after it announced that it would be acquiring fellow burger slinger Johnny Rockets.
The $25 million deal will see it add 700 locations of the 1950s-themed restaurant — famous for its burgers and shakes — to its portfolio, and is expected to be completed in September.
Fat Brands’ CEO Andy Wiederhorn said the company expects to modernize Johnny Rocket’s menu, which already has a black bean burger, by adding plant-based options and vegan milkshakes.
The deal comes as fast-food restaurants see a surge in demand for comfort food delivered to their homes, as lockdowns spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic kept many diners away from restaurants.
