The franchisee expects to open the first of 20 planned QDOBA restaurants in Atlanta late this year or early 2020.

All 20 locations will offer the brand’s signature menu items featuring flame-grilled steak and adobo chicken, as well as other dishes.

Premier Queso Kings founder Patrick Sidhu said: “QDOBA is unquestionably a leader in the fast-casual restaurant space, with the combination of flavourful food and inviting atmosphere.

“Along with an attractive value proposition that stands above so many other category players, QDOBA’s holistic leadership team – across franchising, operations and marketing – is clearly one of the many reasons the brand continues to outpace the category when it comes to traffic, sales and guest loyalty.”
