Del Taco expands in New Mexico

August 25, 2016

Del Taco Restaurants continued to grow its presence in New Mexico, with two recently opened locations and three more under development, according to a company press release. Last year, the brand opened a location in Farmington, followed this year by one in Alamogordo in July. Three more will open in Clovis, Gallup and the New Mexican city of Las Vegas, to total 10 state-wide.

"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 Doug Koch, CEO of QK Holdings and a Del Taco franchisee.

Del Taco also announced exclusive development territory rights for franchisees seeking to enter markets in new states.

"With sixteen solid consecutive quarters of company-owned same store sales growth, Del Taco is thriving and garnering national attention from consumers who are eager for Del Taco to open in their hometowns," Laura Tanaka, Del Taco's director of franchise development, said in the release. "Our year-over-year sales increases prove there is a real demand for a QSR-plus experience like Del Taco, where guests don't have to choose between value and quality, but can have both with the added convenience of a drive-thru. We're in an exciting growth mode."
