Fuzzy's Taco Shop Franchise

Baja-style Mexican restautant

Founded in 2001 near the TCU campus in Fort Worth, the original Fuzzy's Taco Shop was purchased by Alan and Chuck Bush after just two years of operation. The father-son combination with a collective 20 years of restaurant industry experience initially took a slow, hands-on approach to running the business. They insisted on adhering to the promise: "To focus our full attention on promptly and efficiently providing our guests with generous helpings of uniquely flavorful foods at a fair price in a fun atmosphere." That promise remains central to the chain's success today as Fuzzy's Taco Shop expands across the country. Fuzzy's corporate-owned and franchise locations are now serving fresh, handmade Baja-style Mexican food in 79 stores across nine states, with many more on the way. Fuzzy's Taco Shop is a member of the International Franchise Association.

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Fuzzy's Taco Shop Restaurant franchise ranges from $770,500 to $1,116,500. This
includes $30,000 to $50,000 payable to the franchisor or its affiliates.

If you wish to acquire the right to develop multiple Fuzzy's Taco Shop Restaurants with a multiunit development franchise, you must pay the
franchisor the entire initial franchise fee for 50-100% of the
Restaurants you agree to develop. For a typical commitment of 2-3
