Fuddruckers Scores Big With The Houston Texans; Fast Casual Brand To Kick Off Partnership Agreement With Hometown Team In September

HOUSTON, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/-- Fuddruckers proves it's never too early to start thinking about football.  The Texas-based heritage brand has finalized a three-year partnership program with hometown team, the Houston Texans, that officially kicks off in September, just in time for the start of the season.  While the acclaimed fast casual brand, offering a growing roster of restaurant locations around the globe, has long claimed the tagline home of the "World's Greatest Hamburgers," the agreement now adds the title "Official Hamburger of the Houston Texans."

According to Peter Tropoli, Chief Operating Officer of Luby's, Inc., "Not only is this a win for the Fuddruckers team, but we look forward to bringing the excitement of the game to Houston Texans fans and diners through a number of interactive and youth driven elements."

Customers will have their first chance to make their play during a summer contest that will result in the selection of a signature Houston Texans burger.  Ongoing components will include special coupons for Houston Texans season ticket holders, restaurant giveaways plus meet and greets with cheerleaders and team staff, as well as brand involvement in the Houston Texans Youth Football Showcase League.

Since 1980, Fuddruckers has been obsessed with making the world happier, one great hamburger at a time.  Grilled-to-order burgers feature always fresh and never frozen, 100% USDA premium-cut beef with no fillers or additives.  Delicious, sesame-topped buns are baked from scratch on-site throughout the day to achieve the perfect combination of crisp crust and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

And while burgers are the signature, the engaging menu offers variety for many tastes with an array of sandwiches, platters and salads.  No matter what they choose, customers can customize their meal with a trip to the legendary Build Your Own produce bar, which features fantastic fixings like sun-ripened tomatoes, lettuce, sliced onions, dill pickles, pico de gallo and classic cheese sauce.
