Del Taco doubles New Mexico footprint

September 2, 2016

Del Taco is growing in New Mexico with two recently opened locations and three more on the way, according to a news release. Last year, the brand opened a Farmington location, followed by one in Alamogordo in July. Restaurants are also slated to open in Clovis, Gallup and Las Vegas, New Mexico, bringing the state total to 10 units. 

QK Holdings is leading the New Mexico expansion efforts after working with Del Taco for 16 years. 

"We’ve been operating in New Mexico since 2000, and the changes the brand has been making recently, from new menu platforms to a heightened focus on fresh prep, are really resonating with guests and improving our bottom line," said QK Holdings CEO Doug Koch.

Del Taco has had 16 consecutive quarters of company-owned, same-store sales growth, and the brand is offering exclusive development territory rights for franchisees seeking to enter new markets, according to the release.
