Freebirds World Burrito to double foot print by 2026
June 4, 2021
Freebirds World Burrito, which has more than 50 stores chain-wide, plans to double its system size over the next five years. The company said the growth spurt will begin in earnest with a number of openings in its home state of Texas in the third and fourth quarters this year, according to a news release.
"With an updated tech stack in the works, companywide interior design refresh and incredible Tribe members and Fanatics, Freebirds is taking flight across Texas," CEO Alex Eagle said in the release. "We're on our way to becoming the biggest burrito chain in the state. We're looking at a solid 20% growth year-over-year."
The company said its main expansion cities will be in its home base city of Austin, as well as Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, though locations are planned statewide. The company is working with commercial real estate firm, The Retail Strategy, to accomplish its growth goals.
