- BurgerFi International, Inc. (BFIIW) owns and franchises fast-casual and premium-casual dining restaurants under the BurgerFi and Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings brand names primarily in the United States; its BurgerFi segment offers premium Angus beef burgers including the CEO Wagyu Burger and Rodeo Burger, hot dogs, crispy chicken sandwiches, frozen custard, hand-cut fries, jumbo onion rings, shakes, beer, and wine; while the Anthony's segment provides pizza, coal-fired chicken wings, homemade meatballs, and handcrafted sandwiches and salads. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the company went public via a SPAC merger in December 2020, changing its name from Opes Acquisition Corp., and operates through a mix of company-owned and franchised locations targeting consumers seeking higher-quality fast-casual options with eco-friendly designs and antibiotic-free ingredients. In October 2021, BurgerFi acquired Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings for $161 million to expand its platform; it launched the Better Burger Lab innovation kitchen in New York City in April 2024 featuring new items like sous vide chicken sandwiches and the Breakfast Everything Bagel Burger; and on September 11, 2024, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, securing debtor-in-possession financing including $3.5 million from TREW Capital Management to support operations across approximately 144 locations.
