    About Berryhill Baja Grill

    Franchise your own Berryhill: After a decade of success in bringing Baja to the masses, we are looking to add to our family tree. Of course, we know a good thing when we see it (and eat it), and Berryhill Baja Grill’s blend of palate-pleasing cuisine in a relaxed, inviting Baja-inspired atmosphere is a hit. Our franchising system is based on the belief that our success is dependent upon the success of those in our family. That means we take pride in building solid partnerships with our franchisees, vendors, and employees. Our selection of prospective franchisees is based on an assessment of overall business experience and personal qualifications. We look for enthusiastic individuals with experience and resources to develop multiple-unit operations in the United States and beyond. While our focus is on multi-unit development, single-unit development is considered on an individual basis.
