DENVER — Qdoba Mexican Grill has announced the opening of its 400th restaurant location. The newest location is in Nampa, Idaho.
"In the past 12 months, Qdoba has grown efficiently and effectively, opening more than 80 new restaurants and partnering with several new and existing franchisees," said Gary Beisler, CEO and president of Qdoba. "We are extremely excited to open our 400th location. We opened our first store in Denver in 1995 and we plan to open between 75 and 100 additional stores in the coming year."
Michael Bladow, a franchisee based in Carlsbad, Calif., opened the 400th store in Nampa and joined the Qdoba team in 2004. Bladow has an agreement with Qdoba to operate a total of twelve units in two states by 2010.
"We partnered with Qdoba for a number of reasons, but at the end of the day, it was important for us to partner with a solid franchisor with a strong management team and a restaurant that offers a high quality of food and service," Bladow said.
