Taco Bell is boosting its presence in Canada as its expansion is moving ahead, and additional 200 restaurants are expected to open in the country. This plan came to light after Redberry Restaurants, the local franchisee of the Mexican fast-food chain, announced it would build more Taco Bell locations across the region.
Redberry Restaurants said that it would put up Taco Bell stores across five provinces in Canada. This will increase the number of stores in this area to more than double. The partnership between the two companies will allow the addition of 200 outlets, making Redberry Restaurants the biggest Taco Bell franchisee in the territory.
Currently, it is operating a total of 14 Taco Bell restaurants in Ontario. As per QSR Web, the 200 stores will slowly be added across Canada, specifically throughout Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Manitoba. The store openings are expected to take place over the next eight years.
Aside from Taco Bell, Redberry Restaurants also operates over 170 fast-food outlets here. Some of the brands include Pizza Hut and Burger King, which the franchisee is also expanding in the next several years with the construction of 350 stores.
"We are excited to 'Make it Happen' and our team is committed to achieving what we say we are going to do. This has led brands to invest in us and trust us to deliver." Redberry’s chief executive officer, Ken Otto, said in a press release. “Redberry has gained a reputation as a powerful brand amplifier and has helped coveted QSR brands achieve significant growth and brand awareness.”
He added, "The opportunity to lead the expansion of the beloved Taco Bell brand north of the border is truly an honor."
Matthew Shaw, Taco Bell North America’s chief development officer, also said, "Over the past few years, we have seen what Redberry can do with our brand. We recognize how different the Canadian market is and Redberry has proven itself as an undisputed leader in operational excellence in the Canadian QSR industry.”
