QDOBA, which is part of Modern Restaurant Concepts, plans to open 40 new venues this year, followed by 60 in 2024 and more than 80 locations annually from 2025.

Modern Restaurant Concepts CEO John Cywinski said: “QDOBA is an exceptionally well-positioned brand in one of the most attractive restaurant categories.

“We possess long-standing momentum, strong unit economics, a compelling operating model, an extraordinarily passionate guest following and significant untapped geographic potential.”

As part of its selective re-franchising strategy, the Mexian restaurant chain recently divested 77 company-owned restaurants to the existing North Fork Fresh Mex franchisee.
