QDOBA Mexican Eats (QDOBA) announced the grand opening of its newest location in Walnut Creek on August 21st. Located at 1815-B Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, the restaurant will be spearheaded by Karan Gogri, a seasoned entrepreneur with a generational passion for the restaurant industry.
Gogri’s journey in the restaurant business started at an early age, growing up in a family of entrepreneurs and multi-brand franchisees. His parents, successful multi-unit franchisees themselves, instilled in him a love for the industry. Backed by nearly three decades of experience in franchising and restaurant operations, Gogri is well-prepared to bring the world-class flavors of QDOBA to the Walnut Creek community.
To commemorate the opening, the QDOBA Walnut Creek location will be giving the first 100 people in line at 10:30 a.m. free burritos or bowls every month for a year!
“My parent’s journey in the U.S. and within the restaurant franchising industry allowed me to experience the American dream firsthand,” said Gogri in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of QDOBA ever since I was 13, and the brand’s commitment to quality, innovation, and flavorful food resonated with me. I’m thrilled to bring QDOBA to Walnut Creek, the Bay Area, and throughout more communities in California.”
Further differentiating itself, the QDOBA franchise opportunity has flexible footprint options that allow the brand to work well in a variety of traditional and non-traditional venues. With several dayparts, broad consumer appeal, and a strong off-premises/catering business, franchisees are well-positioned for sustained success. Furthermore, QDOBA’s streamlined and efficient buildouts reduce development costs for its franchisees.
“We are looking forward to celebrating the grand opening of QDOBA in Walnut Creek, led by our dedicated franchisee Karan,” said John Cywinski, CEO of QDOBA. “His passion for our brand and commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience aligns perfectly with our core values. We have no doubt that Karan’s Walnut Creek location will become a beloved destination for Mexican-Inspired cuisine in the area.”
As QDOBA expands throughout North America, it is aggressively seeking qualified multi-unit and multi-segment groups with experience in development strategy and focused on diversifying with a bold concept.
