“The changes they are making — it’s like what I went through with another restaurant brand that we are part of, so we’ve seen how a brand can evolve and shoot up the lists. I am telling you,it is going to grow.” — Jennifer Johnson, Paducah, Kentucky
“When we did open the store, we were expecting a large crowd — and we got it. We had lines so long of people trying to get in that they blocked off the other drive-thru competitors. It was -6 degrees outside. I've never seen anything like it in my life.” — Bill Corrick, Burlington, Iowa
“I’ve been amazed at how often people in New York line up for Mexican. The public opened up to a whole new profile of food. Millennials want good-tasting variety in their food; soda and fries alone don’t cut it anymore. Taco John’s gives me the ability to expand and sell the flavor profiles my customers want. If you want to do a lot more sales, you have to fish where the fish are. New York is a very competitive town. If you make a big mistake, people are not forgiving. That’s why the support from Taco John’s is appreciated, and we’re succeeding. New York has lot of brands that go in and go out, but you want something that has name value and is going to be there for a while. That’s what Taco John’s does for me.” — Tom Clarke, a multi-unit franchisee who owns two other QSR concepts in the Northeast
“I grew up in the Midwest, and there in Nebraska there were three stores within 20 miles of where I lived. I started looking around three to four years ago at franchises, looking at the way they were structured and considering the industries that they were in. The more I spoke with the Taco John’s franchise development people, the more I was intrigued with that opportunity. I checked other franchises, and, all things considered, Taco John’s ability to generate income, feedback and training stood out in front of all the others.” — Dave Dickerson, who is opening a Taco John’s in Twin Falls, Idaho
