Willie Anderson, just recently released Cincinnati Bengal tackle, now Baltimore Raven is involved with Fatburger. He's supposed to be opening at least one in the Cincinnati area.

One of the Ravens was supposed to be a franchisee and was to open several in the Wash. DC area. Maybe it was Anderson. Columbia, Md is listed as a 'Fall 2008' opening soon location. Expensive, but pretty good.

Well, they are coming here to Plymouth Meeting, PA ...

One is scheduled to open at the Plymouth Meeting Mall sometime in '09.

Fatburger has struggled in many markets. Here in Cleveland, their locations are almost always empty. They lowered their prices here to try to drum up business. So far, I don't see much of a change.

Yes, the Cranberry Fatburger is also closed. While it was disappointing only because there aren't a lot of places to grab a decent burger in that area, it really was never all that good.

There was a location up here in Cranberry Twp. too, but I haven't noticed if they have closed or not. Sounds like they have. I was there, I think three times and that was enough for me.

I was just thinking about Fatburger in Robinson as i'm at work just down the road from it and I was reading a Steak-N-Shake thread earlier (Fatburger is much better than SnS). I didnt know they had closed.

Two weeks ago the Fatburger website listed two locations in the Pittsburgh area, been there for several years. This weekend I stopped by the Robinson Town Centre location and found it out of business. Checked the site tonite and saw the Fatburger locations in PA are gone. Anyone know what happened?
