Alex Shtein, President, BarBurrito Restaurants Inc. stated:
“BarBurrito was founded onone simple idea – to serve our neighbours, families and friends quality Mexican fare that could be savored and appreciated. With the opening of the 50th BarBurrito location, we would like to take this opportunity to give back to those same neighbours that helped us get this far”.
Some of the first BarBurrito locations opened in The Region of Peel, 6 years ago.
Jean Solorzano, Franchisee, remembers: “It feels like yesterday that we opened the 3rd BarBurrito down at 40 Bristol Road in Mississauga and then the 6th just outside Bramalea Mall not too long after that. We are very grateful and happy to show our appreciation within areas of the community that need it most”.
Jean is just one example of the many hardworking franchisees that strive to roll up the best burritos, quesadillas and tacos that their respective communities have ever tasted.
“The popularity of our cuisine and the success of our franchisees, has allowed us to expand aggressively, with a focus on growth and giving back for the foreseeable future,” said Sameer Lalji, Director of Operations.
