Condado Tacos is almost halfway to its goal of opening up to 100 locations by 2026 — and it shows no signs of losing momentum.
The fast-growing, casual dining chain, which specialises in build-your-own tacos, margaritas and tequilas served in a colourful and energetic environment, opened its first location in 2014, in Columbus, Ohio. The brand, a Chain Store Age 2023 Breakout Retailer Award winner, currently operates 44 locations in 15 markets, and is on course to open up to seven more restaurants by the end of the year. This puts Condado Tacos halfway to hitting its goal of operating up to 100 locations within the next three years.
The taco retailer approaches its expansion “in a thoughtful way,” said Chris Artinian, President and CEO of Condado Tacos.
“With a focus on the suburbs as well as downtown locations, we are striving to open 12 new stores a year,” he said. “We are working our way across the Midwest, east coast and mid-Atlantic,” he explained. “By expanding our footprint in a thoughtful way, we have no doubt we are well on our way to becoming a national brand.”
