The Wall Street Journal: Fuzzy’s Taco Shop To Open 10 to 20 Locations by the End of 2020

In a recent article by The Wall Street Journal, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop highlighted its plan to contribute to economic growth by opening 15 to 20 new locations by the end of 2020. This expansion would create hundreds of new jobs within the restaurant industry.

“The industry itself is stable and our company is having some pretty good months, so it’s stacking up to be a pretty good year,” said Michael Mabry, Fuzzy's Taco Shop Chief Development Officer. "Finding and retaining workers can be challenging, but we are working to become more efficient by redesigning kitchens to reduce the number of prep cooks and combining bartender and cashier jobs during slower periods of the day."

With the economy in a decade-long expansion, Mabry is confident Fuzzy’s Taco Shop will continue to contribute to its overall growth.

With a laid-back vibe and a cult-like following, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop has made waves in the fast-casual segment since its first location opened in 2003. Since then, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop has opened more than 100 restaurants across the United States through organic, word-of-mouth growth within the franchise community. Now, the brand is laser-focused on expansion, with plans to hit the 200 unit mark by 2020 by partnering with franchisees that love tossing back frosty drinks and chowing down on house made queso and chips on a patio as much as they love adding a proven concept with a track record of success to their portfolios.

Franchisees looking to join the brand will have investment costs ranging from $858,500 to $1,329,000.
