Burrito Shak - Franchise

About Us
Since our flagship restaurant opened in in Hampstead, North Carolina in 2015, we have established a solid reputation for excellence and an ever-growing base of loyal customers. In fact, our patrons voted Burrito Shak the “Best Taco in North Carolina” in a six-round elimination style tournament, organized by the travel website Strange Carolinas. Securing this prize and state-wide visibility has only amplified our steady growth.

And now through our franchise program, Burrito Shak is positioned for even greater expansion. This business is our dream and passion, and we want to grow it with a team of entrepreneurs that share our commitment to excellence. This is an opportunity to have a stake in a straight-forward yet relaxed and fun concept that is defined by quality and rooted in decades of industry experience. So join us, and build your future with a compelling investment and unique concept you can truly be proud of!

Americans Love Mexican Food...and For Good Reasons
Mexican cuisine includes a variety of delicious, flavorful dishes that can be prepared at affordable prices. It was recently reported that there are more than 59,800 Mexican restaurants in the United States, that generate a whopping $45 billion in annual sales.

Surf's Up And So Is Demand for Fresh Tex Mex Cuisine
What’s more, the most significant trends currently shaping the huge and growing quick-service and fast-casual industries only fuel the demand for Fresh Mex food. The quick service restaurant (QSR) market has been growing steadily over the last fifteen years and is expected to continue to do so, with key market drivers including increased demand for flexible menus and customization. All of these priorities are central to the Burrito Shak concept. With an accomplished chef at the helm of the company, our menu is built around allowing customers to choose from a selection of high-quality meats,fresh vegetables and flavorful spices. As a franchise owner, you will use local ingredients whenever possible and make everything from scratch, in order to consistently please your local customers.
