District Taco vice president of franchise development Tina Gantz said: “We’re excited to expand District Taco’s presence and have established a unique concept and franchising model to support our franchise partners.
“Fueling our expansion with motivated partners is just one way for us to continue our mission of providing customers with an experience that exceeds expectations, from our high-quality ingredients, to our outstanding customer service.”
District Taco was started by Osiris Hoil and Marc Wallace and had a humble beginning in 2009 as a food cart serving breakfast tacos.
It is seeking franchise partners who include multi-unit operators or senior restaurant professionals with experience operating five or more restaurants.
Hoil said: “District Taco began as a small dream and has now expanded across several states due to our commitment to serving fresh, authentic Mexican food and our focus on innovation.
“This is an exciting step for our brand and we are making a name for ourselves as leaders in the industry.”
