Qdoba’s goal is to reach 1,500 units in the next seven years.
The country’s second-largest Mexican fast-casual chain continues to expand its presence in several key states.
Just a few weeks after announcing the opening of 30 new locations in North and South CarolinaQdoba Mexican Eats will open 39 new stores in key markets across the United States, led by franchise owners Cafua Management Company and Mountain View Management, as well as other experienced franchisees. The expansion plans are another step in the chain’s aggressive growth strategy, which aims to double its footprint to 1,500 stores over the next seven years.
“Joining Qdoba provides a great opportunity to become 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 am excited about Qdoba’s commitment to fresh, customizable ingredients and its dedication to providing a premium dining experience. The brand’s strong performance and tremendous growth potential make it an ideal choice for expansion and align well with my vision for the franchise’s success.”
Rick Albert and Mark Cafua are capitalizing on their success with Dunkin’ franchises and expanding into Qdoba with five new restaurants, some of which are planned in Lebanon, Mount Pocono and Stroudsburg (PA). The team plans further expansion in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and other markets that complement the Cafua Family operations.
