The first Fuddruckers opened in San Antonio, Texas in 1980 with a classic American nostalgia theme. Fuddruckers operates and franchises more than 200 restaurants in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and the Middle East. The emphasis today is the same as it was in 1980 - we use only the freshest ingredients. Our restaurants serve only the freshest beef and feature on-premise bakeries where bread and dessert items are baked fresh daily. It's truly a "build-your-own meal" experience.
Mega Wraps is defining a healthy outlook on the quick service restaurant. With the current customer trends in mind, Mega Wraps features a variety of Pita Wrap offerings. Founded in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Mega Wraps is poised to establish itself as an industry leader across North America.
