Del Taco Restaurants Inc announced that two new franchise restaurants, located in Medford, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho, are now open.

With his success as an operator of four additional Del Tacos in Oregon, including the first Medford location, Gary Winnen, CEO of Cactus Enterprise LLC, will open a second Del Taco in his hometown of Medford, according to a company press release.

"It's exciting to be a part of the growing Del Taco brand," Winnen said. "Our success is a direct reflection of the unparalleled support the company provides to its franchisees, and a result of serving fresh, made-to-order menu items at a fantastic value."

This opening marks the third Boise location for Mark Miller, the CEO of 3 Brothers Restaurants, and the 10th Del Taco he has come to own within the last seven years. Miller, whose current Del Taco stores are located in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, has a goal to open one to two locations per year.

"Del Taco is one of the few quick service brands that values food quality and represents a true upgrade to the traditional fast food experience," Miller said. "This brand differentiator along with the potential to grow significantly in a market with limited stores, sets franchisees up for success."

Earlier this year, Del Taco transitioned into a public company, the release stated. Del Taco continues to seek qualified franchise partners.

"Del Taco has experienced solid franchise growth in both existing and brand new markets across the U.S.," said Laura Tanaka, Del Taco director of franchise development. "We're looking to build upon that national success by partnering with franchisees committed to the Del Taco brand."

Del Taco is continuing to recruit franchise candidates with foodservice operations and real estate experience in the Pacific Northwest region.
