Kanye West Bringing Fatburger to Chicago
According to Advertising Age magazine, the rapper and entrepreneur has the rights to bring ten locations to the Chicago metro area. The first will open next month.
The rapper, producer and sometimes political activist isn't the first celebrity franchisee to stake new territory for the 56-year-old chain. Fatburger has focused on African-American tastemakers to aid its expansion. Last year, talk-show host Montel Williams opened stores in Colorado and rapper Pharrell Williams opened the first locations in New York. Former Baltimore Raven Orlando Brown also bought rights to open Fatburgers last year in Washington.
