FastCasual.com reports the opening of the first Fatburger restaurant in Seoul, Korea.  This is the first of ten locations planned for Korea by the franchisee SW Group Inc.  Andrew Wiederhorn, Chairman of Fatburger, happily welcomed the franchisee into the Fatburger family.  This restaurant chain offers lean beef burgers grilled right in front of customers.

Fog Cutter Capital Group Inc.’s Fatburger restaurant chain has opened its first location in Seoul, Korea. The Gangnam-gu location, in the southeast part of the city, is a significant business district as well as a shopping and entertainment hub.

This is the first of multiple units planned with franchisee SW Group Inc., and the first of 10 planned to open in Korea. Additional locations are expected to open there in 2012.

“We look forward to working with the SW Group and are pleased to welcome them into the Fatburger family. As Fatburger continues to expand internationally, South Korea’s economy and trade relationship with the United States make it an important market for our Brand,” said Andrew Wiederhorn, chairman, Fatburger.

For more than 59 years, Fatburger has been serving big, fresh, 100-percent pure lean beef burgers custom made and grilled right in front of customers.
