Burrito Chain Bringing ‘Mucho’ Flavour to Aurora

Canadian Franchisor Offers Fresh Perspective on Mexican Dining;
Helps Children’s Wish Foundation With Free Burritos on February 27th

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario – Continuing to “spice up” the fast-casual food segment with its unmatched Mexican flavour experience, Mucho Burrito announces the opening of its newest restaurant in Aurora. Located at 650 Wellington Street East, the new restaurant is the first of four slated to open in the area in 2010.

On February 27, 2010, guests of the new restaurant will receive a free 10” or 12” burrito from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM. Mucho Burrito will also continue the tradition of giving away free burritos for a year to the first 25 customers. 

Encouraging the important role of philanthropy and its impact on the community, Mucho Burrito will be asking customers to donate $2.00 to the Children’s Wish Foundation. 

“We’re incredibly excited about expanding the Mucho Burrito brand to Aurora and continuing our conquest of the virtually untapped Canadian market,” said Alex Rechichi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mucho Burrito. “We look forward to building upon our initial success and feeding the local appetite with our fresh gourmet spin on Mexican food.”

Since launching the brand in June 2006, Mucho Burrito has opened 25 restaurants throughout Canada and is targeting the local marketplace as part of a national growth plan calling for more than 200 locations in the next five years.

Described as “Mucho food with Mucho quality,” Mucho Burrito provides customers with an unmatched flavour experience by offering fresh and authentic Mexican food in a contemporary and casual setting. Featuring a “no rules” menu enhanced by the scent of spices and seasonings, roasted vegetables and charbroiled and braised meats, each meal is made to order in front of customers with authentic recipes and fresh ingredients made daily. Guests can choose from a variety of menu selections including hand-rolled burritos, tacos and quesadillas, as well as nacho plates, salads and a selection of custom “Johnny Mucho” sauces.   

To further augment the company’s growth strategy, Mucho Burrito is seeking franchise owners with a strong desire to grow an up-and-coming brand within the food franchise business. Prospective franchise owners should have a keen desire to work with people and an understanding of customer service. With a franchise fee of $20,000, the initial investment to own and operate a Mucho Burrito restaurant is typically $370,000-$400,000 for a standard 1,500-1,800 square-foot location that accommodates seating for 40 to 60 customers.
