Mexican restaurant chain Tortilla has announced plans to open between seven and nine new sites in 2014 as it continues with its expansion plans across the country.
Tortilla first announced plans to have 18 sites by October 14 but under their new plans, this figure is already expected to grow.
The company, which was founded in 2007 and is the biggest fast-casual restaurant chain in the UK, is headed by founder Brandon Stephens and backed by YO! Sushi owner Quilvest. There are currently 12 sites, with three more set to open before the end of the year.
Speaking to Caterer and Hotelkeeper, Stephens said that Tortilla eventually hoped to go well north of 40 sites nationwide, opening between six and ten sites per year for the next several years. The company is looking at other UK cities for future openings including Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff and Nottingham.
