Pancheros Mexican Grill - Franchise
Why Pancheros Mexican Grill Franchise?
Since our founding in 1992, Pancheros has built a loyal following of millions of fans. How, you ask? It’s simple. In fact, simplicity is at the core of everything we do, from pressing each tortilla as it’s ordered from scratch-made dough, to high-quality, fresh ingredients mixed for the perfect bite. Our menu, operations, in-store and digital experiences are designed to focus on simplicity. That laser-like focus on simplicity has allowed Pancheros to grow from our humble beginnings as a college favorite in Iowa City to over 65 restaurants in more than 13 states.
The best-kept secret in the Midwest is now growing beyond our strong footprint in the region, and we are looking for multi-unit franchisees to bring our beloved brand to new markets. Pancheros is ready to capitalize on the tremendous demand for Mexican food in communities across the United States.
Market research shows that the Mexican fast-casual restaurant segment brings in more than $52 billion annually. Franchise Direct reports, “Mexican food franchises are outperforming all other types of restaurants or fast food franchises.” Why? Mexican food is a great-tasting consumer favorite and also has appeal for all types of lifestyle preferences and flavor profiles.
We have been in business for more than 25 years, which has allowed us to perfect our meals and business model. Our menu approach is simple: only have five items. That, combined with our commitment to cross-training our staff, sets up each franchisee to be labor efficient.
Average Annual Sales of a Pancheros Mexican Grill: The average gross sales for a unit is $1,128,463
