Mexican fast-casual restaurant Qdoba is preparing to add two new spots in New Jersey.
According to franchisee Intregritty Group, the launches will occur this month at 1041 Route 73 in Marlton and 1951 E. Edgar Road in Linden.
Founded in 1995, Qdoba is known for its customizable bowls, tacos, nachos, quesadillas and salads. The brand’s 800-plus footprint includes 26 restaurants in New Jersey.
At the soon-to-open outposts in Marlton and Linden, Qdoba will offer dine-in, takeout and catering services.
Each store will create 50 new jobs. Both also plan to get involved with fundraising efforts for schools, youth sports and nonprofits, according to TIG.
Commenting on the openings, Pranav Desai, an executive with TIG, said the group is excited to bring Qdoba to new communities.
“Our goal is to create a go-to spot for everyone whether it’s a quick lunch, a family dinner, or catering an event. We can’t wait to meet our new neighbors and share the flavors we’re known for,” he said.
Based in Pennsylvania, TIG boasts 60-plus restaurants in five states under such names as Dave’s Hot Chicken, Qdoba, Checkers & Rally’s and The Greene Turtle.
In New Jersey, its nearly two dozen Qdoba stores include a recently opened site in Secaucus. After Marlton and Linden, Qdoba will come to Hamilton and Fort Dix soon, according to TIG.
As part of a broader expansion effort, the 10-year-old group aims to hit 100 total units nationwide by 2030.
Locally, TIG’s development plans include Dave’s Hot Chicken on Route 202 in Flemington soon. It expects to introduce Ford Motor Co.-inspired burger and craft beer concept Ford’s Garage in New Jersey, too.
