After gaining valuable experience in successfully developing a large franchise system, Gil L. Craig founded The Taco Maker Inc. in 1968. Based in Ogden, Utah, The Taco Maker franchise system has locations in the United States, Latin America, Western Europe, and the Far and Middle East. Franchise sites include traditional freestanding buildings and mall food courts as well as the Express program, which complements The Taco Maker's co-branding relationship with companies including Blimpie and selected service station chains.
Now seeking motivated, outgoing individuals looking to franchise and become a part of a fast growing community.
We offer a winning combination of food brands that include The Taco Maker®, Jake's Over the Top®, and Mayan Juice™ – all available as part of the same outlet. We have locations in a variety of outlet types, with design formats to meet almost every need.
Our facilities are designed to reflect specific motifs with state-of-the-art materials and equipment. All of this sets us apart from the competition. The creation of fine foods starts with kitchen and production lines that are clean and organized in such a way as to encourage efficiency and minimize waste.
Franchise Opportunities are Available!
The diversity of our multiple-brand outlets makes them the most successful opportunities available. Single-concept outlets are available when restrictive elements exist because of covenants or prior exclusivity on competing products. We have the ability to go into spaces from 400 square feet to 3500 square feet in traditional freestanding units, convenience stores, shopping malls, food courts, airports, and in-line strip centers, all of which have all proven their success.
