R Taco, a fast casual street taco chain backed by Buffalo Wild Wings, announced today the addition of two franchise groups. The agreements will result in seven locations across Arizona, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, according to a company press release.

Taco Maumee, LLC, has signed a deal to open four R Taco locations in Maumee, Ohio; Fort Wayne, Indiana; East Lansing, Michigan and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sonoran Restaurant Group, LLC has signed a development deal for three locations in the Phoenix, Arizona area.

"We are thrilled to welcome Taco Maumee, LLC and Sonoran Restaurant Group, LLC to our franchise family," Tom Berzinski, vice president, managing director, R Taco, said in the release. "The addition of the two groups will help expand the R Taco footprint into three additional states including Arizona, Indiana and Michigan."

Launched in Dallas in 2010, as Rusty Taco and named for co-founder Rusty Fenton, the company shortened its name in 2015, to provide broader appeal as the concept continues to expand beyond its Dallas, according to the release.
