Corporate History

It appears that the holding company FAT Brands was largely the creation of Andrew Wiederhorn. The restaurant brands were created by restauranteurs. I will start the merger tree with Wiederhorn and present the restaurants as branches.

Weiderhorn amassed a fortune buying and selling properties from the FDIC Resolution Trust. He created a business called Whilshire Credit Corporation which originated subprime mortgages. Some source claimed Wiederhorn was worth $140 million in 1999.
