Qdoba Mexican Grill
Once again
Brandon, Manitoba beats Winnipeg to the punch just as they did with
Five Guys Burgers.
Qdoba Mexican Grill is opening their first franchise in Canada in Brandon in an old
Rogers location.
Qdoba is a huge 700 location
Denver-based operation. Its main competition is
Chipotle Mexican Grill which started in Denver as well. Chipotle just opened its first location in
Toronto and will open another in Vancouver next year.
The battle between these giants is huge. Canada represents a potential 100 more locations to whoever gets their first.
Qdoba Mexican Grill serves San Francisco-style burritos and other
Mexican dishes.
The rumour is they are eyeing Winnipeg next and are in talks with franchisors.
The complete and enormous success of
Famous Dave's since it opened in Winnipeg is not lost on any of the chains out there.

Finally!
Brandon is booming these days. They seem to be the test market for Manitoba when it comes to new restaurants.
The growth rate in Brandon is more than twice Winnipeg, so I can see why busiinesses choose to take the initial risk there.
