Del Taco Continues Strong Expansion

QSR Magazine:

No. 2 Mexican quick-serve Del Taco announced lately its plans to open 7 new restaurants in Tennessee. Restaurant entrepreneurs Gerald and Carol Fulbright, along with their son Thomas, have signed a deal to open 4 restaurants in Chattanooga while a group of quick-service operators will open 3 locations over the next 4 years in the eastern part of Knoxville.

J. Marc Mushkin, vice president of franchising for Sagittarius Restaurants LLC, parent company of California-based Del Taco, expects the new strong franchisees to make the new restaurants successful. ‘Consumers throughout Tennessee are hungry for something new in the Mexican quick-serve category,’ he says. ‘We expect Del Taco to continue to be well received there.’
