Taco John's has opened its first restaurant in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin. A grand opening celebration on Aug. 8th will feature live music and giveaways, according to a press release.

The franchise is under the helm of Pentex Restaurant Group, Taco John's largest franchisee with nearly 50 units in its portfolio. The Mt. Pleasant restaurant is the brand's 9th in the state.

Pentex Restaurant Group traces its origins to 1974, when two of its partners built their first Taco John's in Aberdeen, SD. The company was officially formed in 1987, with five Taco John's throughout North Dakota and South Dakota. Today the company employs more than 1,100 team members.

"We're thrilled to continue expanding across the state of Wisconsin, bringing the unbeatable flavor and value of Taco John's made-to-order menu items to local residents," Brett Itterman, CEO of Pentex Restaurant Group, said in the press release.

Taco John's has more than 350 restaurants in 23 states.
