TacoTime Mexican Food Franchise Makes Entrepreneur’s Top Brands Under $150K List

Entrepreneur magazine recognizes legacy brand TacoTime as a top budget-friendly franchise opportunity with nationwide appeal

Entrepreneurs looking for a great investment in the popular Mexican QSR space will find TacoTime® Mexican food franchise attractive on two fronts — low startup costs and strong brand equity. In fact, Entrepreneur magazine includes TacoTime on its newly released list of top franchises that can be started for less than $150,000. The rankings are based in part on the scores the franchises received in the 2019 Franchise 500.

“It is an honor for TacoTime to once again be recognized by a respected business publication,” says Kevin Gingrich, Brand President with TacoTime, and owner of several TacoTime restaurants in Utah. “We’ve been in business for nearly six decades, but we are still not oversaturated in key markets. TacoTime is an established, long standing brand with a solid history of customer loyalty — thanks to delicious, high-quality Mexican food at a great price.”

TacoTime was also recently recognized by Entrepreneur as a featured investment opportunity on its Top 10 hot franchise trends list for 2019. TacoTime was one of the popular business publication’s top recommendations in the Mexican food niche.

TacoTime is a legacy brand with streamlined operations and strong team culture

In addition to low startup costs, which include a $30,000 franchise fee for first-time owners, the TacoTime Mexican food franchise opportunity stands out due to its tremendous brand recognition and customer loyalty alongside a strong franchise network. And as an added bonus, TacoTime’s longevity means there are multiple seasoned franchise owners who are more than willing to advise new owners on running a successful location.

“TacoTime is a team business, and its franchise owners connect in many ways,” explains Gingrich. “When someone opens a TacoTime Mexican food franchise, he or she is becoming part of an ongoing legacy.”

Backed by global franchise leader Kahala Brands™, TacoTime has fine-tuned back-office systems that are easy to learn and operate, allowing owners to focus on running their business.

“Kahala Brands has built a world-class support system that includes everything from employee training to the computerized systems that help the business run smoothly. And because they are always working to improve these systems, franchise owners benefit from enhancements and upgrades without having to do all the work themselves,” Gingrich says.

TacoTime is a low-cost investment opportunity with high potential returns. A beloved part of hundreds of communities in the United States and Canada for nearly 60 years, TacoTime is poised to become the premier Mexican QSR franchise as it ramps up for national expansion.

TacoTime is ready for the spotlight. With more than 250 locations in the United States and Canada, the Mexican food franchise is ready to break out of its home turf in the Pacific Northwest and hit the national stage. TacoTime is looking for entrepreneurs who are passionate about bringing authentic and affordable Mexican food to their communities. TacoTime is led by a veteran franchise team and dedicated brand support team as part of the Kahala Brands family.
