Pancheros Mexican Grill Franchise Model Overview
Pancheros restaurants serve burritos, quesadillas, tacos, bowls and salads made to order on a display cooking line, for dine-in and carry-out, typically from a 2,000 to 2,500 square-foot end-cap strip-center space with a patio or pick-up window. The brand has franchised since 1995 and is concentrated in Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey and neighboring states, with affiliate-owned restaurants making up about a third of the system. The investment is high six to low seven figures, mostly leasehold improvements and kitchen equipment in leased space, plus a required opening marketing campaign. The owner or a certified full-time manager must directly supervise the restaurant, and all owners sign personal guaranties. Royalty is 5 percent with a 2 percent ad fund and 3 percent local marketing requirement. The system has been essentially flat over three years, with a few closures offset by new openings, and transfers are occasional. Item 19 reports gross sales for both franchised and affiliate restaurants.
