Fatz Corporate Office

Fatz is a chain of casual dining restaurants, mainly in the Southeastern part of the US. Founded by Bill Burton and Jimmy Rogers, the original location was a converted peach storage shed in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Today, the company has 35 locations in 5 states.

The company usually places their restaurants in small towns, avoiding the competition found in large cities. Food is the typical American cuisine, with hamburgers, chicken, ribs, seafood, and pasta. A few locations also offer a salad bar. The company uses trans-fat free oils and specializes in baked, not fried, chicken. Fatz also offers a special menu for other dietary needs.

Originally founded as Fatz Cafe, the company has since rebranded itself in 2017 as Fatz Southern Kitchen.

There was a rumor that the company was going out of business in early January 2019, but these were rumors and nothing more.

Food from Fatz can be delivered via Bite Squad for many locations.

Due to the coronavirus crisis and quarantine, many Fatz locations will not be reopening in 2020.

Fatz is a subsidiary of Cafe Enterprises, Inc., and has headquarters in Taylors, South Carolina.

History

Shop ‘N Save Market Corporate Office

Shop ‘N Save Market was founded in Belleville, Illinois, in 1979. Formerly a part of the SuperValu chain, Shop ‘N Save is now independently owned, with more than 44 locations throughout Missouri and Illinois. The company has headquarters in Kirkwood, Missouri.

While SuperValu supplied many family-owned stores, it has had difficulty in recent years, keeping up with the competition from Walmart and Giant Eagle. Its decision to sell off some of the Shop ‘N Save markets was not an easy one, says a company spokesperson.

Shop ‘N Save Market continues to maintain their presence in the Missouri/Illinois area, with only one store closing in the past 3 years. The company has approximately 3,800 full-time employees. Most locations offer full-service pharmacies and bakeries.
