Hamburger chain Fuddruckers is expanding in the Caribbean with a new location in the Dominican Republic.

Fuddruckers has partnered with Giancarlo Bonarelli of Franchise Management Group LTD to open a new Fuddruckers Express location in the food court of the Galeria 360 in Santo Domingo.

The company opened its first Fuddruckers location in the Galeria 360 in 2014 in a 3,500-square-foot space.

“Since joining forces with Franchise Management Group LTD for our 2014 debut in the Dominican Republic, we’ve been thrilled with their enthusiasm, brand loyalty, high standards and market expertise,” said Peter Tropoli, Chief Operating Officer. “We look forward to much success ahead for them as they continue to win over customers in the Caribbean.”

The express location will include a menu of burgers, fries, hand breaded onion rings and chicken tenders, salads, wraps and desserts ranging from fresh cookies to brownies.

Fuddruckers’ Caribbean locations are currently in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
