Maui Tacos, the quick casual restaurant concept that fuses the great tastes of Mexico with the exotic flavors of the Hawaiian Islands, has signed a development agreement with Lava Flow Ventures of Sacramento, Calif. to open 62 Maui Tacos restaurants in California over the next seven years. The new agreement expands an original 12 unit agreement signed in 2004. Lava Flow Ventures opened its first Maui Tacos in February of this year in Roseville, Calif. and is opening its second restaurant in November, in El Dorado Hills, California.
According to Lava Flow Ventures chief operating officer, Bryon Axt, interest from commercial brokers and developers wanting a Maui Tacos restaurant in their retail developments has been overwhelming. Lava Flow expects to open four more restaurants next year. The counties in California slated for Maui Tacos are El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Solano, Yolo, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange and portions of Los Angeles.
“After our first Maui Tacos experience in Hawaii, we knew that this concept had the food, fun and flair every franchise needs to succeed,” said Mr. Axt. “Our first Maui Tacos restaurant has been so successful that we decided to open 50 more, expanding our restaurants from Orange County to Sacramento.
