HOUSTON, Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuddruckers, a
world famous restaurant brand from Texas, and South American franchisee Grupo
Char's are nearing the completion of their third fast casual
restaurant in Bogota, Colombia.
Slated to open on October 27, the
approximately 3,300-square-foot eatery will be located in the
premier, new Plaza Central mall, one of the largest shopping
centers in the country, encompassing more than 800,000 square feet
with 2,680 parking spaces, over 330 retail spaces, eight movie
theaters, a supermarket, department stores and numerous sustainable
features. Accessible via three main avenues – Ave. 68, Calle 13
(Ave. Centenario) and Ave. Americas – Fuddruckers will also enjoy a
prime spot on the mall's restaurant terrace.
Fuddruckers and Grupo Char's
introduced Fuddruckers to Colombia
one year ago with a restaurant in the bustling Pepe Sierra area of Bogota.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "We are proud to bring juicy,
tasty, delicious burgers to another prime spot in Bogota, which has quickly embraced our dynamic
dining experience, ideal for a gathering of friends and family,
business lunch or date night. Grupo
Char is an exceptional partner to grow our footprint in
South America."
Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world
happier, one great hamburger at a time. Grilled-to-order burgers
feature always fresh and never frozen, 100% USDA premium-cut beef
with no fillers or additives. Delicious, sesame-topped buns are
baked from scratch on-site throughout the day to achieve the
perfect combination of crisp crust and melt-in-your-mouth
texture.
And while burgers are the signature, the engaging menu offers
variety for many tastes with an array of sandwiches, platters and
salads. No matter what they choose, customers can customize their
meal with a trip to the legendary Build Your Own produce bar, which
features fantastic fixings like sun-ripened tomatoes, lettuce,
sliced onions, dill pickles, pico de gallo and classic cheese
sauce.
