Taco John's new franchise plan designed for growth

November 14, 2013

Taco John's International announced a new franchise agreement that the company said is business-friendly and will help both existing and new franchisees grow.

"If you're shopping around, looking for a brand to invest in, we want you to know Taco John's is an extremely competitive brand for a franchisee," said Jeff Linville, CEO for Taco John's. "We've standardized our franchise development procedures, simplified the franchise fee structure, and modernized how marketing dollars are spent."

Linville said Taco John's took the unique approach of sitting down with a group of restaurant owners and working together on the new franchise agreement. He believes the result is a balanced agreement that remains franchisee-friendly.

"Number one, we are reducing some fees and capping others," said Linville. "Number two, is simplifying the franchise fees payment structure. That is a big win for our franchisees. Number three, we're adding a two-mile right of first refusal area to the two-mile protected territories we already grant to franchisees. That's very unique."
