## Story

Hot Head Burritos continues its growth across Indiana with the opening of a new restaurant at 8680 High Pointe Drive in Newburgh. Opening Friday, June 26, the restaurant marks the brand’s tenth location in Indiana and 87th systemwide.

The festivities kick off at 10:30 a.m., when the first 50 guests in line will receive a free burrito card redeemable during their next visit. Guests can be among the first in Newburgh to try Hot Head’s customizable, made-to-order burritos, bowls, tacos and nachos, with signature sauces ranging from Mild to Wild.

Located near Interstate 69 and the growing retail and residential developments surrounding High Pointe Drive, the restaurant brings Hot Head Burritos’ bold flavors and customizable menu to another Southwest Indiana community.

Guests can build meals from more than 40 fresh ingredients and 16 signature sauces, creating thousands of flavor combinations tailored to their preferences. The menu also includes gluten-free, vegetarian, keto, paleo and allergy-friendly options, making it easy for guests to find their go-to order.

The new restaurant is owned and operated by franchisees JK Patel and Preksha Pandya. Patel also owns Hot Head Burritos’ Evansville location, and Jigar Soni will serve as general manager.

“One of the most rewarding parts of this business is watching franchisees grow,” said Kelly Gray, president and CEO of Hot Head Burritos. “JK has built a strong foundation in Evansville, and we’re proud to support him as he expands into Newburgh. Indiana has been an excellent market for Hot Head, and we’re looking forward to serving more Hoosiers while continuing to grow the brand across the state.”

Hot Head Burritos in Newburgh will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information on franchising opportunities or to stay up-to-date on new restaurant openings, visit hotheadfranchising.com.
