TacoTime’s Over Half-Century Of Innovation Leaves Competition In The Dust

The basics of great food and price points have created a loyal customer base, one that can be easily replicated in every market across the United States

Interested in owning a Mexican food franchise, but worried about a crowded sector? Get on board with TacoTime™, which pioneered the concept and is still revolutionizing the market more than a half-century later.

If you don’t know the name, that’s because until now TacoTime has been predominantly found in the Northwest and nearby states. There, it’s a legendary and beloved brand — and the first stop for experts when they visit home. Now, this exciting brand is expanding to a national footprint.

Mexican Food Franchise sticks with the fundamentals = winning formula

“TacoTime really is one of those best-kept secrets,” says Vice President of Operations, Kari Combs. “Over the years this brand has been extremely successful in Canada, western Washington, Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. And the brand loyalty happens very quickly — once consumers visit TacoTime, they are truly hooked.”

Why’s that? Simple. It’s the food. Customers aren’t willing to sacrifice quality and taste when they seek out a fast-casual dining experience, and at TacoTime they will never have to do so. Plus, they receive outstanding customer service, with a laser focus on getting every order right, every single time.

Kahala Brands adds deep layer of support

The current expansion is fueled by the many differentiators brought to new franchise owners by corporate parent Kahala Brands™. For instance, in addition to a dedicated training and marketing team, owners also benefit from a robust onboarding that includes learning the company’s turnkey back-office operational systems, as well as ongoing mentoring and other support.

“Kahala has decades of experience starting brands from scratch as well as taking a successful name such as TacoTime to the next level,” Combs says. “When a prospective TacoTime Mexican food franchise owner digs into the details, they see what Kahala offers, and see why that can be such a huge benefit to them. That experience, coupled with the unprecedented entrepreneurial enthusiasm we are seeing as communities reopen nationwide, makes this the best possible time to open a TacoTime franchise.”

TacoTime is ready for the spotlight. With 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.
