There are over 100,000 chain restaurant locations in the U.S. and total annual sales for them are expected to be close to $900 billion this year. This according to Newsweek and global data firm Statista, who for the second year, announced America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains in selected categories. The awards are based on the results of a survey of more than 4,000 customers and employees of restaurant chains in the U.S. This year there are 220 winners in 16 categories.
Among them is Salsarita’s Fresh Mexican Grill who ranked with 5 stars in the Tex-Mex category.
“Of course, it’s wonderful to get a 5-star ranking by a publication like Newsweek, an American institution”, said Merrick McKinnie, Chief Operating Officer for the Charlotte, North Carolina based Salsarita’s chain.
Founded in Charlotte, N.C. in 2000, Salsarita’s Fresh Mexican Grill offers Mexican favorites such as five flavorful house-made salsas, custom burritos, tacos, nachos, and salads made fresh to order with an extensive selection of proteins, toppings, and fillings. Salsarita’s was acquired by franchise industry veteran Phil Friedman in 2011 and operates more than 84 locations in 18 states, 9 of which are company-owned. The company continues to expand via franchising with multi-unit restaurant operators.
