Fatburger, the California-based burger chain, has closed one of its few remaining locations in San Antonio. The restaurant at the intersection of 1604 and Culebra Road has shuttered, leaving just two Fatburger spots still operating in the city - one on San Pedro Avenue and another inside Six Flags Fiesta Texas.

Why it matters

Fatburger's slow growth in San Antonio is a setback for the brand's expansion plans in Texas, which were announced in 2022. The closure of one of its locations highlights the challenges the chain has faced in gaining a foothold in the competitive San Antonio market.

The details

In a letter posted on the now-closed location's door, Fatburger thanked customers for their support over the years and said the 1604 and Culebra Road restaurant is no longer operating. The closure is confirmed by the restaurant's website and Google, which lists the location as permanently closed.
