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.

Founded in 2005 by Dr Sam Prince, Zambrero operates more than 300 restaurants across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the UK and the US.

Zambrero UK chief executive Emily Teh told The Caterer:“We’ve had a lot of interest in the brand during the last couple of years – and now is the right time for us to expand through our franchise partners and work towards opening 100 restaurants by 2030.

“We also have opportunities for area developers to join us and help us achieve our growth plans.

“When you join Zambrero as a franchise partner, you become part of our ‘Zam Fam’ and make a commitment to partnering with us to bring an incredible experience to our customers every day. We’re looking for passionate franchise partners who can open multiple restaurants.”
