Pancherosnow has a total of over 85 commitments.

"With franchise sales in a high state of growth, we are anticipating only more developments over the next several years," said Rodney L. Anderson, founder and president of Pancheros.

The Genesis Group, Ltd. will be opening 16 units in Nevada. Meanwhile, the five-unit development agreement in Orange County, Calif., is being carried out by a multi-unit restaurant operator whose family has been in the restaurant business for more than 30 years. Along with the locations in Orange County, another franchise operator will bring Pancheros to Northern California, opening 10 units in San Jose.
