Del Taco announced expansion plans in the Chicago area starting 2016. A total of eight restaurants are slated to open, bringing the Mexican quick-service to the midwest.
Director of franchise development, Laura Del Taco, said, "We've had strong interest from franchise candidates in this part of the country for some time, and we've found a solid development partner."
The franchise group Tasty Group Chicago leads the expansion in the metropolitan and commits to opening eight restaurants exclusively in the area. The group plans to open the first restaurant in July, 2016.
A Tasty Group representative said, "As a Midwest native, I believe there's a void in the fresh Mexican quick-service restaurant category in the region, and I'm confident that Del Taco will thrive here."
The representative said there's a void in Mexican food options so they look forward to becoming a staple restaurant in the community.
