HOUSTON, Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fuddruckers,
a Texas-born heritage brand,
unveiled its third location in Italy this week with Vinum et Alia, an
established Italian franchisee that focuses on chains in the
value-oriented, casual dining segment. The 5,500-square-foot,
fast casual restaurant is ideally situated along the bustling Via
Strada Statale dei Giovi in Casnate con Bernate, a municipality in
the Province of Como.
The American-style interior, accommodating up to 250 guests,
showcases a dynamic and playful design scheme, which emphasizes
Fuddruckers' classic, roadhouse origins. The result is a
festive and inviting backdrop that is ideal for a gathering of
friends and family, business lunch or date night.
According to Peter Tropoli, Chief
Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "Through our partnership with
Vinum et Alia, we continue to expand our footprint in Italy while quickly earning fans throughout
the country, who appreciate our unique brand and use of quality
ingredients, including 100% fresh and never-frozen locally-sourced
Italian beef, produced to our unique specifications."
Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world
happier, one great hamburger at a time. Grilled-to-order
burgers are paired with delicious, sesame-topped buns, which 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 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 and dill pickles.
