Fuzzy's Taco Shop, a Texas-based restaurant group, is entering Wyoming as part of a five-unit deal with Casper, Wyoming-based Johnson Restaurant Group. The company owns 13 restaurants, including Old Chicago, and independently owned Johnny J's Diner, FireRock Steakhouse, Wyoming Ale Works and J's Pub, according to a press release.

"We were first introduced to Fuzzy's Taco Shop on a trip to Texas, and immediately knew there was something special about the brand," John Johnson, owner of Johnson Restaurant Group, said in the release. "The fact that the food is delicious and the portions are generous while being served in a fast-casual setting with a full bar is extremely unique to any other concept we've encountered. We are looking forward to opening our first Fuzzy's in our home market where our company is headquartered and know that the Casper community will love it as much as we do."

Fuzzy's Taco Shop was founded in 2003 in Fort Worth and has nearly 150 franchise- and corporate-owned locations in 17 states — 18 when Wyoming opens.
