Barburrito opens sixth Scottish site
With plans to open seven more sites in 18 months.
The burrito chain, founded in 2005 by CEO Morgan Davies, opened its newest outlet at 55 Forrest Road, Edinburgh. The property of over 2,500 sq ft has been fitted out with Barburrito’s latest high quality, cool interior, with branding emphasising its fresh produce and dishes prepared daily on the premises.
Jim Bishop, Property Director at Barburrito commented: “This location is ideal to serve our customer base with a good mix of students, office workers and local residents. The fit out of the building has been challenging and exciting and we have managed to create 70 covers in a really special environment”.
Founder and CEO, Morgan Davies added: “This latest opening cements our place as the leading burrito bar operator in Scotland. Having grown up near Edinburgh, I am personally excited to be selling our burritos on home turf. As the UK’s first burrito bar chain we are now proud to be operating 18 restaurants across 9 major cities”.
Following the opening in Edinburgh, Barburrito will be taking their fast-casual Mexican food to Aberdeen with a new store opening in Hammerson’s Union Square development.
Bishop said: “This outlet will have 46 covers in the shopping centre and is ideally positioned on the first floor to provide local office workers, shoppers and cinema-goers fast, healthy food in a vibrant environment."
Barburrito are backed by the growth capital provider BGF, who last year helped fund the acquisition of Pinto Mexican Kitchen in Scotland and who have provided funding for Barburrito’s growth over the past 5 years
