Start with One Location or Multiple

At TacoTime, we work with entrepreneurs who have different business goals. Some franchisees choose to start with one location and grow as they establish a strong customer base. Others invest in multiple locations from the beginning, leveraging our support system to scale quickly.

Regardless of your starting point, our real estate team helps identify high-traffic locations with strong growth potential. Our franchise model is designed to be scalable, making it easier for multi-unit owners to replicate operations across multiple sites.

Expanding from a single-unit to a multi-unit operation with TacoTime is a strategic and natural progression for many franchisees, facilitated by our proven business model and hands-on support. Franchisees benefit from market familiarity by understanding customer preferences and demand before scaling, proven performance through data-driven decisions from their initial location, and established operations by leveraging trained staff and refined processes across multiple stores. We guide our franchisees through this transition, focusing on sustainable growth and making it a smooth and strategic process.
