TacoTime National Expansion Provides Opportunities in New Markets

Brand provides the opportunity for entrepreneurs to give consumers in their markets a new name connected with a long history of great food

As the TacoTime™ Mexican food franchise name makes its way across the United States, it brings with it a unique opportunity: provide customers with something traditional as well as something new. That double benefit is intriguing potential franchise owners in markets from the Midwest to the Southeast, and once they look at the brand more closely they find additional enticements.

“In many parts of the country, people have not heard of TacoTime,” says Kevin Gingrich, President. “So, to them, the brand is something entirely new and exciting. At the same time, they have friends and family who have visited a location somewhere, because TacoTime has been around for more than 50 years, and so has a solid history of customer loyalty — thanks to great-quality Mexican food at a good price.”

Strong support for franchise owners

One benefit of becoming a TacoTime Mexican food franchise owner is the comprehensive support provided by Kahala Brands™. With decades of experience, Kahala backs up franchise owners with not only training, but back-office systems and other support.

“When someone starts a small business, they need energy, enthusiasm and operational skills,” Kevin says. “The team behind TacoTime works to make sure that the franchise owner is ready to go from day one. That means advance training, as well as a team on the ground for opening day and beyond. And because TacoTime has many ways for franchise owners to plug in and be a part of the conversation around product development and more, they can tap into the advice and expertise of their fellow owners.”

Evolving brand, unchanging core values

TacoTime’s menu is anchored by classic Mexican food, but it’s also known for seasonal additions, new items and combinations. That’s because this brand values tradition and also respects changing tastes — and is able to satisfy both.

“TacoTime’s food is why it succeeds,” says Kevin, who is a franchise owner himself. “That’s what brings in the customers. But thanks to input from franchise owners and customers, TacoTime has been able to try and test new items over the years, many of which have made their way onto the menu as permanent additions. A great brand never forgets what works, but also is willing to grow and evolve, and that’s what TacoTime has accomplished.”

TacoTime is ready for the spotlight. With more than 350 locations in the United States and Canada, the successful 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.
