NOTES TO EDITORS

 

About Tortilla Mexican Grill plc

 

Tortilla is the largest and most successful fast-casual Mexican restaurant
group in the UK specialising in the sale of freshly made Californian-inspired
Mexican cuisine. As at 1 January 2023, the Group had 82 sites worldwide,
comprising 65 sites in the UK operated by the Group, 4 sites franchised to SSP
Group in the UK, 5 sites franchised to Compass Group UK & Ireland and 8
franchised sites in the Middle East.

 

The Group was founded in 2007 by Brandon Stephens, originally from California
who arrived in London in 2003 to find a gap in the market for quality burritos
and tacos. As a result, Brandon established Tortilla with a mission of
offering customers freshly prepared, customisable, and authentic
Californian-inspired Mexican food.

 

The Tortilla and Chilango brands are synonymous with an energetic, vibrant
culture, and with providing a great value-for-money proposition. They embrace
fast-growing sector trends (including eating out, healthy eating, provenance,
ethnic cuisine, delivery) across a variety of locations, through a
differentiated product offering which is popular with a broad customer base,
and a clearly defined multi-channel marketing strategy. It benefits from
flexible site locations and formats, and a scalable central infrastructure.
