Uberrito is ramping up its focus on franchising by offering single- and multi-unit area development opportunities, Chief Development Officer Peter Ortiz, said in a company press release.
The company, which operates five Houston-area locations and two Phoenix locations, is hoping to build on the momentum of successful expansion efforts in Arizona and Texas, Ortiz said.
"The food and the ambiance at Uberrito are exceptional. Thanks to that, our locations have seen tremendous growth over the last few years," he said. "As a result, we've experience significant demand for the franchise and we are excited to now be able to bring Überrito to the broader market," said Ortiz.
Überrito is part of Mexican Restaurants Inc., which operates 47 Mexican restaurant locations across five brands: Uberrito, Casa Ole, Monterey's Little Mexico, Tortuga Mexican Kitchen and Crazy Jose's. Additionally, the company runs 10 franchise locations for Casa Ole.
