## Story

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop® recently announced the signing of two multi-unit development agreements to mark the brand’s expansion throughout Arizona and Texas. The deals will bring 40 new restaurants to market.

"Fuzzy’s has transformed from a single neighborhood taco shop with a chill vibe in Fort Worth, Texas into a franchised concept with an exceptional bar program and a Baja-inspired menu that our guests have come to crave," said Paul Damico, President of Fuzzy’s Taco Shop.

Established Fuzzy’s Taco Shop franchisee, Marc Rogers, of Rogers Restaurant Group, signed an agreement to bring new restaurants to Arizona and the Phoenix area by 2032. Rogers Restaurant Group opened their first Fuzzy’s Taco Shop in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2011, and today owns and/or operates Fuzzy’s restaurants throughout Colorado.

Hnreck Nazarian, of Nazarian Global Enterprises (NGE), will become the newest Fuzzy’s Taco Shop franchisee and open new restaurants over the next seven years throughout the Houston, TX market. A multi-unit restaurant operator with 23 IHOP restaurants, NGE has been an IHOP franchisee since 2001, owning their first IHOP restaurant in Houston.
