QDOBA Raises $527M to Spice Up Its Flavorful Growth Journey

QDOBA Mexican Eats is thrilled to announce a major milestone in our journey—raising $527,000,000 in new funding that will supercharge the next phase of our growth and innovation. Since opening our first restaurant in 1995, our commitment to bringing flavor to people’s lives has driven us to become a beloved name, boasting more than 740 restaurants across the United States and Canada. This impressive capital raise not only reflects the trust and confidence our investors have in our brand promise but also underscores our dedication to excellence in every aspect of our business. The funds will be strategically deployed to further expand our footprint, enhance our guest experience, and continue innovating new dishes that stay true to our bold, flavor-forward identity. At QDOBA, it’s clear that our most important ingredient has always been our people—talented, creative, and passionate team members who embody what we call their unique “flavor.” By investing in our employees through programs like mentoring, community engagement, and professional development initiatives, we ensure that every burrito, taco, salad, or bowl served is backed by a team united by innovation and a shared love for authentic flavor. The infusion of this capital paves the way for exciting advancements in our operations, further solidifying our commitment not only to quality food but also to building a workplace culture filled with fun, collaboration, and continuous learning. We look forward to this new chapter and are excited to share the future of QDOBA with our guests, employees, and the broader community.
