Lord of the Fries is an Australian and New Zealand casual dining fast food chain, originally based in Melbourne, before expanding into other regions. It serves only vegan dishes including french fries, veggie burgers, hot dogs, and a number of various sides and breakfast items. Lord of the Fries first opened as a "mobile chip van" in August 2004 which was driven across the country until late 2005 when the first store location was opened in Melbourne's city centre.[1] Due to the menu consisting entirely of plant-based products, all meals from the chain are Kosher and Halal.

In 2018, the company announced a partnership with U.S. producer Beyond Meat, making them the first Australian restaurant chain to offer their plant-based burger patties.[2]

Expansion[]

After opening the first permanent store in Melbourne, founders Mark and Amanda Koronczyk have expanded the chain across Australia, with a restaurant in almost every state; one in New South Wales and Western Australia (Currently closed), two in Queensland and South Australia, and fourteen in Victoria. The company also plans to further open seven new stores a year over a six-year period.[3] Lord of the Fries opened their first international store in Auckland, New Zealand in 2016.[4]

Locations[]

Lord of the Fries has nineteen Australian[5] and four New Zealand[6] locations.
