Their net franchise growth rate is zero, and they are not reporting any turnover. While the possibility of skewed or flat-out inaccurate statistics exists, it appears that if they were ever able to open these franchised locations, they have since closed. These figures raise many red flags to potential buyers.

Investing in a restaurant franchise requires a great sum of money, as well as a lot of effort. It would also look bad for Freebirds themselves. During the interview with QSR Magazine, Cheek stated that they were focused on wide-spread expansion. Their method for achieving this expansion involved looking for the best, most qualified franchisees, instead of solely focusing on location and energetic markets.

It is possible that in the last five years, they have not yet found the ideal circumstances for selling and launching franchised locations, but it is improbable. There are plenty of qualified franchisees seeking new opportunities that would be interested in at least exploring the opportunities available with Freebirds. The question of why they have not seen any substantial franchise growth remains. Savvy franchisees know what they are looking for before investing in a brand.

Something about Freebirds is keeping investors from lining up to take their piece of the Tex-Mex pie, and it is resulting in some disappointing figures for the brand. Like most franchises,Freebirds World Burrito charges ongoing fees to its franchisees. They charge a 4 percent royalty fee to franchisors, once they have bought and opened their store. This is below the national average of 6 percent and appears to be a good deal.

The problem with their ongoing fees appears when we look at their advertising fees. The national average for ad fees is 2 percent of total sales. Freebirds doubles that and charges 4 percent. While these two figures equal out to being comparable with the national averages for both fees, the way the fees are presented can leave a sour taste in the mouth of investors.

You start at the beginning of an assembly line, usually with a basic template, be it nachos, burrito, quesadilla, tacos or salad.

From there on, the underlying base of said template is prepared, heated or pressed, and fed onto the line. Meats and other condiments are added one at a time and finally wrapped or boxed at the end, after a choice of salsa.

The first two are a basic burrito with either the burrito tortilla having melted cheese on it, as one would have on a quesadilla, or a burrito with crushed tortilla chips at its core.

The third item is a combination having both the cheesy tortilla and the crushed chip center. All items are heavy and filling. Tip: To avoid the messiness of a regular quesadilla, ask for a quesarito and do not forget the refried onions at the end. Burrito Bowl: For someone unable to finish a regular burrito, a bowl is the safer option.

This item has gained much popularity, as it does relieve people of a chaotic chow down. With better packaging and a smaller portion, this might be a friendlier option for those with a tighter stomach and budget. Unfortunately, you do miss out on the tortilla, so ask for a warmed tortilla on the side if you prefer. Please note this login is to submit events or press releases.
