The owners of the Taco Maker franchise in Puerto Rico, FransGlobal, announced this week its decision to buy the more than 50,000 pounds of beef consumed monthly at its 90 local restaurants from island farmers, representing an annual investment of some $1.5 million.
The owners of the Taco Maker chain in Puerto Rico are setting their sights on other markets on the U.S. mainland and in Central and Latin America to fuel growth in 2014, when the company also plans to expand on a newly introduced modular restaurant concept they believe is the cornerstone to successfully bucking local economic conditions.
