STRATEGIC PARTNERS
January 24, 2023
Shortly after announcing its five-market expansion plan, Capital Tacos is making good on its promise to establish brick-and-mortar franchises in its home base of Florida with the announcement of a three-unit development agreement for the state's central region. The first will open this spring at the Clermont Regional Shopping Center, 1042-1044 E Highway 50 in Clermont, under the ownership of Jim Kerr, according to a company press release.
"There couldn't be a more opportune time to join the Capital Tacos family," Kerr, who previously owned a restaurant in Atlanta, said in the release. "My personal background aside, the Orlando market has been desperate for an innovative and utterly delicious Tex-Mex chain to take hold in its community, and I have no doubt that Capital Tacos will soon fill that void and become a staple for Central Florida residents."
With roots in Tampa Bay, Capital Tacos rolled out a development plan to take the Tex-Mex franchise beyond the heart of Florida's Gulf Coast. Since launching a franchise program in early 2022, the chain is establishing a presence in Atlanta, Charlotte, Colorado, Orlando and South Florida, opening brick-and-mortars stores in each market by Q2.
"With growth plans in place to develop within our sister market of Orlando, the Capital Tacos team is confident the brand will travel seamlessly in this area where our offerings are so highly in demand, especially with the contributions of Jim, who shares our goal of bringing the best Tex-Mex and a nostalgically fun time to more communities throughout the region," Josh Luger, co-founder of Capital Tacos, said in the release. "We have no doubt that Jim's unique background and experience will make for great success in Central Florida, and we look forward to witnessing his accomplishments in the territory."
Capital Tacos is seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees.
