The US second-largest fast-casual Mexican chain is continuing to grow its footprint in several key states.
Just weeks after announcing a plan to open 30 new locations in North and South Carolina, Qdoba Mexican Eats will open 39 new locations across major markets in the United States, led by franchise operators Cafua Management Company and Mountain View Management and other experienced franchisees. The expansion plans further the chain’s aggressive growth strategy aimed at doubling its footprint to 1,500 units over the next seven years.
“Joining Qdoba presents a great opportunity to be part of a leading Mexican fast-casual brand known for its innovative, high-quality, and flavorful menu offerings,” said Rick Albert, CEO of Mountain View Management. “I’m pleased with Qdoba’s commitment to fresh, customizable ingredients and its dedication to providing a top-tier dining experience. The brand’s strong performance and tremendous growth potential make it an ideal choice for expansion, aligning well with my vision for franchise success.”
Leveraging their success with Dunkin’ franchises, Rick Albert and Mark Cafua are expanding with five new Qdoba restaurants, some of which are planned for Lebanon, Mount Pocono and Stroudsburg, Pa. The team is planning further expansion in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and other markets complementary to Cafua Family operations.
