Why Owning a Mexican Food Franchise can be a Wise Investment

TacoTime™ Mexican food franchise strives to help entrepreneurs excel in business

Would you be surprised to learn that when Americans shop for food, the majority prefer Mexican food over burgers and pizza? According to 24/7 Wall Street, burrito bowls and chicken tacos occupy the no. 1 and no. 2 spots out of the 15 most popular orders in America – and bean burritos land at no. 5. Our Mexican food franchise has understood consumers’ desire for fresh, quality Mexican cuisine for decades. 

TacoTime was founded more than 60 years ago in the Pacific Northwest, where our brand has become an institution – a daily part of everyday life for our wildly devoted fans. As we’ve expanded beyond our stronghold, we’re finding that the demand for exceptional Mexican food is limitless. 

By providing a menu that is delicious, fresh, fast, and affordable, TacoTime wins over customers one bite at a time.

“In offering the best-tasting food for the best prices, it is very easy to win new customers,” says Denise Staley, owner of several TacoTime franchises in Wyoming. “What makes TacoTime unique is how loyal our customers are. We have folks who come to our restaurant multiple times over the course of the week. Our food and convenient service is an experience that people really crave to have again and again.”

Is now a good time to consider  opening a Mexican food franchise?

The outbreak of Covid-19 has radically transformed consumer buying behavior. TacoTime is uniquely positioned to perform well during these new times because our restaurants have drive-thrus, are ideal for mobile delivery or customer pickup, and because our food travels well.

The other reason why TacoTime franchise owners can be in an advantageous position is because of our parent company, Kahala Brands™. As one of the largest franchisors in the world, Kahala Brands has marshaled resources to TacoTime franchise owners, from marketing to health & safety protocols, to a real-estate team that assists in finding the best opportunities in any market, to professional development, and more. Our franchise owners are never alone – and with the new normal, they will continue to be fully supported

“We help franchisees in every aspect of the business,” says Kevin Gingrich, Brand President and a franchise owner with TacoTime. “If they are successful, we are successful. We help new franchisees every step of the way so they hopefully don’t have to worry about anything pertaining to opening. Our franchise owners get the opportunity to chime in on every initiative our corporate leadership team puts forward. It’s an amazing relationship that most small businesses don’t have access to.”
