## Story

According to Talk Business & Politics , Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is looking to bring six more restaurants to Fort Smith and Northwest Arkansas markets, creating 150 jobs. Founded in Fort Worth just outside Texas Christian University, the brand is also seeking a spot near the University of Arkansas Fort Smith campus to expand its college footprint.

“As we grow from the Dallas-Fort Worth concentration, we are focusing on nearby states and Arkansas and Fort Smith fall directly in that path,” says Fuzzy’s Taco Shop Chief Development Officer Michael Mabry. “We know the brand has a vibe that these markets will not only adopt, but give us a great opportunity to be successful.”

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is currently seeking franchisees for this expansion. The cost of each restaurant depends on its size and location, with a typical restaurant cost ranging between $858,500 and $1.329 million, Mabry tells Talk Business & Politics.
