Company Overviews

About Wahoo's Fish Taco's

In 1988, the Wahoo brothers decided to import the fish taco to Orange County, California, and give it a unique twist. They combined the fish taco with their Brazilian favorites and Asian inspired items. The brothers decorated the original restaurant with the donations of near-by surf companies and that's how Wahoo's Fish Taco was born. Wahoo's then quickly developed a loyal and steady following, to where some locals came in daily and servers automatically knew what their customer would order. In 1990, Steve Karfaridis, joined as a partner and the one location in Costa Mesa rapidly developed into multi-locations in Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach. Today you will find over 50 locations of Wahoo's all throughout California and Colorado, including Texas and Hawaii. We are looking for franchisees who have the experience and financial resources to develop an area of at least 3-5 stores.
Wahoo's Fish Taco's initial franchise fee is $35,000 (and just $27,5000 for each additional store)

About Quesada

BLAND IS NOT AN OPTION Our goal is to bring the Quesada brand of Made-Fresh-For-You Burritos to cities and towns across Canada. Franchising is about making the right decisions based on a past pattern of success. Decisions based on experience. At Quesada, yes, we know how to make an award wining burrito; but before we got to making the burrito we had to learn how to choose successful real estate, how to negotiate a good lease, how to design and build a restaurant at an affordable price, where to buy equipment, how to manage food and labour cost and how to market our concept. What Quesada does for you is help you make the right decisions about things that you may know little or nothing about and about things you may only do once; like choosing a site, or a contractor or a piece of equipment. And then we teach you how to manage your business, minimize your operating costs, increase your sales and market your business. And nobody comes to the table with the same skill sets. And everybody has something to learn. If you are strong in one area, we can help make you stronger and if you lack a skill, we can help you learn it. One hand washes the other in this business. We offer: *Site Selection *Store Design and Construction *Training *Advertising *Opening and Ongoing Support We have put together a great team and look forward to working with great partners as we build the best Burrito chain in Canada. Give us a call, together we can make it happen.
