Qdoba Mexican Eats is touting several new franchise agreements to help grow its footprint throughout the coming year.
The fast-casual Mexican chain says it will expand its store count across the country in 2025 through several deals, with major plans to open new restaurants in the Northeast, Midwest and beyond. In 2024, Qdoba celebrated 16 consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales and 22 new franchise signings nationwide.
“As we kick off 2025, Qdoba’s growth has never been stronger,” said Jeremy Vitaro, Qdoba’s Chief Development Officer who joined the restaurant last March. “Strong sales, strategic incentives and experienced operators reflect the strength of our brand. We’re proud to partner with franchisees who share our vision for delivering bold flavours and quality dining experiences to communities nationwide, setting the stage for long-term success.”
Among Qdoba’s franchise agreements is a significant deal with APR Island Management/Cafua Management, led by Mark, David and Greg Cafua alongside Ricardo Gonzalez. As the largest Dunkin’ franchisee in the United States, Cafua Management has committed to developing 20 Qdoba restaurants in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, building on their 2024 agreement to develop five restaurants in Pennsylvania.
