OGDEN, Utah — Mexican QSR chain The Taco Maker has signed a deal to begin franchising in Wal-Mart stores across the United States.

The Taco Maker is the largest Mexican quick-service restaurant in Puerto Rico. The company also operates Jake's Over the Top, which serves hamburgers, sandwiches, chicken tenders, fries, onion rings and ice cream treats; and Mayan Juice, a quick-service concept offering fruit smoothies with health boosters.

TTM's agreement with Wal-Mart includes all of its concepts. To date, TTM has signed lease agreements to open stores in Utah, Florida and South Carolina. Six of these locations will open this year.
