22 September 2024: Australia’s largest Mexican restaurant franchise, Zambrero, is celebrating the opening of its 300th restaurant with a giveaway of 300 burritos at every Zambrero in the world this Wednesday, 25 September.
“We wanted to take this moment to celebrate with our customers, and what better way than with free burritos,” Zambrero CEO Matt Kenny said.
Zambrero was founded in 2005 by Dr Sam Prince in Braddon, Canberra. Zambrero now has an extensive network of restaurants across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States.
“Reaching 300 restaurants is a momentous milestone, and I want to thank our wonderful franchise network, restaurant teams and, most importantly, our customers for making this possible,” Dr Prince said.
The Zambrero ethos has always been to deliver high-quality, fresh and convenient Mexican-inspired food while helping alleviate world hunger. Dr Prince was inspired by his aid work as a doctor in developing countries to establish the Plate 4 Plate initiative, which donates a meal to the hungry for every burrito sold at Zambrero.
The 300th restaurant milestone comes just weeks after Zambrero’s Plate 4 Plate initiative donated its 80 millionth meal globally to those in need. The 90,000 donated meals generated as part of the global 300th-restaurant-opening-celebration giveaway will make a significant impact on the tally.
Mr Kenny said, “We are opening a new restaurant every week as we bring Feel Good Mex to more people.”
“Our food is made of high quality, fresh ingredients,” he said. “It’s great tasting, excellent value and better for you. Not only is it better for you, it’s also better for others because of Plate 4 Plate.”
Zambrero Hawthorn has the honour of being the network’s 300th restaurant. Located on Glenferrie Rd, the restaurant opened on 18 September. The restaurant is led by one of Zambrero’s most experienced and accomplished Franchise Partners, Luke Grady. He owns 10 restaurants and has been involved in the brand since 2015.
“We’re very excited to open the 300th restaurant in Hawthorn,” Mr Grady said.
“There’s a real buzz around Melbourne at the moment with lots of new Zambrero restaurants opening in and around the city.”
