Fuzzy's Taco Shop has signed a four-unit agreement with multi-brand franchisee John Cassity to bring the brand to Utah and add to its Colorado locations. Cassity owns five Einstein Bros. Bagel shops and four Subway sandwich shops.

"John is a highly qualified and experienced restaurant operator who we know will maintain the integrity of the brand and Fuzzy's culture," Paul Damico, CEO of Fuzzy's Taco Shop, said in a company press release.

Fuzzy's, based in Texas, has nearly 150 franchise- and corporate-owned locations in 18 states.

"When I was looking at concepts to complement my existing brand portfolio Fuzzy's Taco Shop kept checking off all the boxes for me," Cassity said in the release. "What really impressed me was their flexible footprint which can be tailored to each specific space and market. Additionally, Fuzzy's offers a completely unique concept with affordable food and signature drinks, so from a competition standpoint it really stands on its own."

Cassity's first two locations will open in the second half of 2022 in Grand Junction, Colorado, and St. George, Utah.
