Summarize with

Fuego Tortilla Grillwill open its eighth location on June 30 in Abilene, Texas. The move marks the brand's its third restaurant launch in 2026 as it continues expanding across the Lone Star State and beyond.

The new restaurant will occupy the former site of Chick-fil-A at 3130 S. Clack St. The chicken chain relocated to another Abilene site in late 2025 after nearly two decades at the Clack Street location.

Fuego Tortilla opening is expected to create 25 to 40 jobs, with hiring beginning in mid-to-late May across all positions.

Fuego Tortilla currently operates in several Texas markets, including its headquarters city of College Station, along with San Marcos, San Antonio and Waco. Dallas-based Uncommon Brands, which owns Fuego Tortilla, is accelerating the Tex-Mex chain's growth, spearheading the first locations outside of Texas in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
