WARSAW, Poland, June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuddruckers, a
Texas-born heritage brand, debuted
its first restaurant in Central
Europe on June 20 through a
partnership with Italian-based franchisee Vinum et Alia.
Located in Warsaw, Poland's Wola
District, the fast casual eatery is an anchor of bustling Wola Park
Shopping Center's new food court, which was unveiled earlier this
month. The site is one of ten planned with Vinum et
Alia. Two have recently opened in Italy, and Switzerland is a proposed target.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "We are thrilled to be launching
our third European location in just over a year and are equally
excited to be introducing Poland
to the 'World's Greatest Hamburgers' featuring baked from scratch
buns, which are made in house throughout the day, and 100% fresh
and never-frozen beef, produced to our unique specifications and
then grilled to order."
Adjacent to Multikino cinema and Calypso fitness club, the
2,777-square-foot restaurant can accommodate approximately 130
diners. The American-style interior showcases a dynamic and
playful design scheme, which emphasizes Fuddruckers' classic,
roadhouse origins. The result is an inviting backdrop that is
ideal for a family gathering, business lunch or date night.
The Wola Park restaurant is the first Fuddruckers to serve an
American-style pizza with five options that range from the
U.S.A. Classic incorporating
tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and oregano to the Podhale Spirit
with kielbasa, Oscypek cheese, mushroom and onion. In
addition to hamburgers and pizza, the engaging menu offers an array
of soups, sandwiches 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 condiments like sun-ripened tomatoes, lettuce,
sliced onions and dill pickles.
