Hitzelberger,
who is the recipient of the Utah National Restaurant Association’s 2018
Lifetime Achievement Award, opened his 32nd and 33rd locations this year.
For diners in Utah, they know heading to a Del Taco means a great experience
from a brand that supports the community, with the Hitzelberger team having
donated more than $1.1 million to various local organizations since 2008.
“Del
Taco sits at a fantastic intersection of fresh food, offered at a great
price. It’s a core reason why we continue to leverage it to expand our
business, because Del Taco delivers what consumers are looking for,” said
Hitzelberger. “This year, we’ve begun to place an additional system wide
focus on hospitality, which we strongly believe will continue to elevate
this brand to a white space that has tremendous continued growth potential.”
Brent
Veach, longtime Del Taco franchisee, will be opening two new restaurants
by year’s end, one in the Denver area and one in the Phoenix area, both
growth areas for the brand. Along with having more than 40 Del Taco restaurants
across Arizona and Colorado, Veach also serves as president of Del Taco’s
Franchise Marketing Advisory Team which works with brand leadership to
achieve transparent franchisee and franchisor relations.
“Del
Taco’s leadership team understands what it takes to win in the restaurant
environment,” said Veach. “As demonstrated by recent system-wide average
sales increases, our organization believes the brand is well positioned
for continued growth thanks to an unbeatable combination of freshly-prepared
food served at a tremendous value.”
Del
Taco presents significant growth potential for experienced multi-unit restaurant
operators looking to diversify their business portfolio. The brand currently
has more than 560 locations across 14 states, and with opportunities to
grow in both existing and new markets, there is no better time to join
