From 5 Units Open in December 2003, Commitments for Over 200 in December, 2004

A year ago, Salsarita's had only five locations open, all in North Carolina . One year later, this rapidly growing Franchise has opened eleven stores in three states and signed commitments to open 200 more around the country. But in every state, there's room for more.

South as far as Miami , north within site of Manhattan ( Northern NJ ), west to Texas , the company is assigning territories rapidly. Major markets already under contract include Tampa , Orlando , Houston , Dallas , Atlanta , Detroit , Philadelphia , Baltimore , Nashville , Minneapolis , and several others. Near-future expansion plans include New England , the Midwest , and the whole Southwest; franchise inquiries are welcome.

Why is this train moving so fast?

Because Salsarita's is not just another burrito and taco franchise. Salsarita's sets itself apart in a crowded marketplace by letting patrons design their own offerings—and then watching as the staff prepares the food right in front of their eyes. A circular margarita bar and a cozy, cantina-style dining area that makes the Mexican heritage accessible to a mass audience, while offering health-conscious fresh foods—all these combine to create a unique and pleasurable Restaurant experience that customers flock to again and again.

On the operations end, the franchise is carefully constructed to make start-up as simple and affordable as possible: from the salsa recipe to the payroll processing procedure, every detail is laid out clearly and simply. The concept s designed to be scaled from as little as 600 square feet to as large as 3000. And with the chain in its early stages, franchise fees are far less than many other chains.

Company President Bruce Willette has many years of experience operating other franchises, and so he designed his chain to be responsive to the needs of franchisees. He still owns and operates the original Charlotte , NC location

As a result, both experienced restaurateurs looking for new venues and people opening their first franchise are flocking to Salsarita's.
