KANYE BRINGS FATBURGER TO HOMETOWN: Rapper gives fast food chain its first address in Chicago area

Kanye West's company KW Foods LLC is opening a 74-seat Fatburger restaurant next month in Orland Park, Il, a suburb outside of his native Chicago.

The 2,353-square-foot fast-food restaurant at 15110 S. La Grange Road will be the first Fatburger ever to be located in the Chicago area, reports ChicagoBusiness.com.

KW Foods LLC has rights to develop 10 more Fatburgers in the Chicago area. The next one will open in January at 95th and Western Ave. in the Beverly neighborhood, according to a spokeswoman for Santa Monica, Calif.-based burger chain Fatburger Corp.

KW Foods has also chosen a third location, but a lease is not finalized, she said. The Orland Park outlet has yet to set a firm opening date in September.
