The Wolf’s Take 🍟

With roots in Denver since 2010 and franchising since 2015, Fat Shack has established itself as the go-to spot for anyone looking to satisfy those guilty-pleasure munchies, especially in the late hours when most food spots are closed.

The franchise fee is $25,000, with a 6% royalty and a 1.5% brand fund contribution, which is quite competitive. They’re keeping it accessible for young entrepreneurs or anyone looking to break into the franchise game without a huge upfront investment. With 18 franchise units already up and running, the concept has a solid foundation and plenty of room for growth.

Fat Shack doesn’t shy away from serving comfort food with a capital “C.” Think burgers, fried snacks, and sandwiches stuffed to the max (take a look at their menu if you haven’t). The appeal here is tapping into that ever-growing market of people who want indulgent food paired with unique experiences.

If you’re looking for a brand that stands out in the crowded fast-casual space, has a distinct personality, and aims to make franchise ownership accessible, Fat Shack could be worth sinking your teeth into.
