Qdoba Mexican Eats has signed a multi-unit franchise development agreement for the Dallas area with a major multi-unit, multi-segment group, a news release said.

The agreement to bring between seven and 10 standalone Qdoba locations to the Dallas-Fort Worth area will nearly double the brand's footprint in the market, with the first new location slated to open mid 2022.

The agreement comes as Qdoba sets its sights on expanding to 2,000 units through a mix of existing franchisees, adding more units, signing new franchisee agreements and continuing corporate developments.

"We believe that successful franchises are built on flavorful food, frontline innovation, and strong partnerships," Shawn Caric, Qdoba vice president of franchise development, said in the release. "As Qdoba continues to build out markets across the country, these core values remain front and center while we continue to expand our franchise network. We're excited to continue working with proven franchisees with extensive restaurant and operational experience who are as committed to these values as we are."

Qdoba has more than 740 locations in the U.S. and Canada and is based in San Diego.
