R Taco — backed by Buffalo Wild Wings — has inked a multi-unit development agreement with ThreeWitt Enterprises Inc., to open in Dayton, Ohio.

The franchise, which opened its first R Taco in Dayton, Ohio in March, will also open units across Ohio including Columbus and Cincinnati, according to a company press release.

"After opening in March, it did not take us long to realize that R Taco was special and that our customers’ love of the concept was undeniable" John Slaughenhaupt, principle, ThreeWitt Enterprises Inc., said in the release. "We feel the R Taco future is extremely bright and our team is excited to be a part of such a young and exciting brand."

"We are thrilled ThreeWitt has decided to expand beyond their location in Dayton to our franchise family as we continue to bring R Taco to additional markets," said Tom Berzinski, vice president, managing director, R Taco, said in the release. "Like us, they recognize consumers’ love for the unique experience, quality and freshness R Taco offers."
 
Launched in Dallas in 2010, as Rusty Taco and named for co-founder Rusty Fenton, the company shortened its name in 2015, to R Taco to provide broader appeal as the concept continues to expand beyond its Dallas roots, according to the release.
