Del Taco Restaurants  has opened a new location in Columbia, South Carolina, as part of a recently signed multi-unit development agreement, according to a company press release. This newest development deal is with Flavors Group, a family-operated franchise team with a background in wholesale and convenience store franchising, including several restaurants located within their convenience stores. The Columbia Del Taco location is a free-standing restaurant and the group has committed to opening several more stores in Lexington and Richland counties over the next few years.

"Del Taco's consistent record of stable financials and new market success gives us tremendous confidence that the brand will thrive in South Carolina," said Shetal Patel, franchisee. "With over 10 years of franchise experience, we were looking to diversify our portfolio and recognized Del Taco is a fast-growing favorite with unique differentiators that set it apart from competitors in the space; and introducing the beloved brand and products to a new territory was a very attractive business opportunity."

"Backed by a rich 50-year legacy and a proven business model, we're eager to share our knowledge and resources to help our franchisees achieve sustainable success," said Laura Tanaka, director of franchise development. "Del Taco is seeking qualified franchise partners, like the Patel family, to grow with us during this very exciting time for the brand."
