Australian quick-service restaurant chain Zambrero has announced a franchise recruitment initiative in the UK. The goal is to open 100 locations by 2030.
The brand, which serves a range of Mexican-inspired dishes, made its UK debut in 2021 with a restaurant in Kentish Town, London.
Since then, it has expanded to 13 locations including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Reading and Essex.
In line with these expansion efforts, Zambrero has partnered with three franchisees who are set to launch new outlets by summer 2026, including the chain’s first restaurant in Scotland, as reported by The Caterer.
This growth initiative will create 1,500 full and part-time jobs.
Zambrero UK is looking for additional franchise partners, multi-site operators and area developers to support its growth across various formats, including traditional dining establishments and drive-through locations.
