District Taco, which is preparing to offer franchise opportunities within the next year, has hired Tina Gantz as VP of Franchise Development.

"I was already familiar with the District Taco brand and have been a fan of their food for a while," she said in a company press release. "I was so happy to learn that their values align perfectly with my own: a healthy lifestyle, social equity, protecting the environment, and most importantly, a passion for franchising. After all, I have seen first-hand that franchising can be the best way to fast-track business ownership and build wealth, helping people achieve the American Dream, no matter where they come from."

Gantz, who has been a franchise broker, consultant, coach and owner, earned her Certified Franchise Executive certificate in 2020.

"Tina has what it takes to set up our future franchisees for success," District Taco CEO Osiris Hoil said in the release. "We've evolved from a single taco cart to fifteen brick-and-mortar locations throughout the northeast. Over the last decade, we have perfected our recipes, operations, and customer experience, and we are ready to share our recipes for success with others so they can join the District Taco family and have a successful future."

In 2009, District Taco began as a taco cart and now operates 12 locations in the Washington, D.C. metro area and three in the Philadelphia area.
