Fast-casual brand plans to open off-premise-oriented offshoot in Minneapolis in April
Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, the fast-casual concept, will be opening a smaller, more streamlined version, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop Taqueria, in Minneapolis, Minn., in April, the company said Tuesday.
The Irving, Texas-based Fuzzy’s said the Taqueria will offer a slightly reduced menu and be about a third the size of a typical restaurant.
A traditional Fuzzy’s Taco Shop unit is between 3,000 and 4,000 square feet, and the Taqueria will typically cover 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, the company said.
“As real estate opportunities became available over the last year, we realized we didn’t want to limit our franchisees to the traditional Fuzzy’s model with larger square footage requirements,” said Jessica Wescott, chief operating officer and chief financial officer for Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, in a statement.
