Los Angeles-based Fatburger opening first San Antonio brick-and-mortar store Saturday

Hollywood-based fast casual chain Fatburger will open its first standalone San Antonio location this Saturday as part of a major push into Texas.

The brand already has a presence in San Antonio via an outdoor space located in Fiesta Texas' Fiesta Bay Boardwalk section. However, the new standalone store is part of a Lone Star State expansion that will include 40 locations, officials said in a statement. It's unclear how many of the new stores will be in the Alamo City.

The new restaurant, located at 6507 W. Loop 1604 North near the highway's intersection with Culebra Road, will serve Fatburger's namesake sandwiches along with fries, onion rings, turkey burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches and hand-scooped milkshakes. The operation also will house a Buffalo’s Express, which serves bone-in and boneless chicken wings tossed in an assortment of sauces.

The new Fatburger and Buffalo’s Express will cook up 100 free Fatburgers for the first 100 guests on Saturday's grand opening. Visitors also will be able to enter a raffle to win free Fatburger meals for a year.

Fatburger opened in Los Angeles more 70 years ago, and operates more than 150 locations in 20 countries.
