EMC Business - 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 the Ottawa metropolitan area.

Located at 160 Earl Grey Dr. in Kanata, the new restaurant is the first of four slated to open in the region in the next six to 12 months.

Mucho Burrito will be hosting a grand opening event on June 5 from noon until 7 p.m., during which time customers will receive a free small or regular size burrito.

In fact, the first 50 customers will receive free burritos for one year. Customers will be asked to donate $2 to the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). A Mariachi band will also be on hand to entertain the crowd throughout the day.

"We're incredibly excited about bringing the Mucho Burrito brand to Ottawa and continuing our conquest of the virtually untapped Canadian market," said Sean Black, company co-founder and an Arnprior native. "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 13 restaurants throughout Canada and is targeting Ottawa as part of a national growth plan calling for 40 locations by the end of 2010 and more than 200 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. Customers 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. For franchise inquiries please contact Sean Black at (888) 729-7482, ext. 14 or seanb@extremebrandz.com.
