Salsarita's going big in Texas

February 4, 2014

Salsarita's Fresh Cantina is expanding its presence in Texas thanks to a new multi-unit development agreement with Barton & Agha, LLC for North Texas, Plano and Allen. Comprised of franchise veterans Mohammad Agha, Cayce Barton and Chris Barton, the group will open six Salsarita's restaurants over the next five years to serve residents in and around Plano and Allen, Texas, according to a company press release. The first restaurant will open in Plano by the end of 2014.

"We are very excited to bring Salsarita's to North Texas," said Agha. "Texans love Mexican cuisine and we wanted to share Salsarita's excellent cuisine with even more people."

Agha will serve as the operational manager for all six locations, while Cayce Barton and Chris Barton will provide oversight. Agha has been involved in the franchised fast food and fast casual industries for the last 32 years, while the Barton family has been working with franchises for 45 years.

Agha is confident that Salsarita's will be quickly accepted by the residents of Plano and sees much potential for the brand throughout the state.

"Salsarita's fulfills a niche with its product and service, and I think it is a big contender to do very well here," he said. "I look forward to introducing the concept to the Plano community and beyond."
