Brunswick’s Fat Boy Drive-In to open this week

 Opening day at Fat Boy in Brunswick. A little later than expected, Fat Boy Drive-In in Brunswick will open this summer after online speculation about whether or not the roadside attraction would return for another season. A popular spot for burgers, sandwiches, frappes and more, the 1950s-style drive-in will open for the 2026 season on Friday, June 26, according to a Facebook message from the business. A “long, bitter winter” caused plumbing damage and set back the opening date this year, a representative of the business said. In previous years, it opened in May. The Boulos Company [recently listed](https://boulos.com/our-listings/111-bath-rd-brunswick-sale/) the restaurant for sale. It appears to have also been up for sale in 2024. In addition to car-side dining, Fat Boy is unveiling a new play area for kids and picnic tables this year. The Burton Family founded Fat Boy Drive-In on Bath Road in 1955. The Burtons [sold the summertime spot](https://www.pressherald.com/2020/04/20/fat-boy-drive-in-under-new-ownership/) to local restauranter Mike Jerome in 2020, according to the business’ website.
