Backed by nearly two decades of operations experience ranging from Dave’s Hot Chicken to The Green Turtle, the TIG Corp is the perfect fit to guide QDOBA’s expansion throughout the Tri-state area. In addition to operating 20 units throughout the state with a 30-unit development agreement in the next five years, they currently employ more than 400 employees in the area and aim to reach 1,000-plus in the next three to five years. This opening in itself will generate approximately 50 new jobs. The TIG Corp maintains a strong commitment to the communities they serve and offer robust catering services.

“We are thrilled to grow QDOBA in Staten Island and provide customizable Mexican cuisine to more people throughout the community,” said Patel. “I have seen firsthand the success of the brand’s business model and our customers enthusiastic response to our fresh and flavorful menu offerings, making our team confident that this new location will be a success. We are looking forward to continuing to build QDOBA’s reputation as a leading fast-casual restaurant concept.”

Further differentiating itself, the QDOBA franchise opportunity has flexible footprint options that allow the brand to work well in a variety of traditional and non-traditional venues. With several dayparts, broad consumer appeal, and a strong off-premise/catering business, franchisees are well-positioned for sustained success. Furthermore, QDOBA’s streamlined and efficient buildouts reduce development costs for its franchisees.
