There is a lot to celebrate after the first year of partnership between Fuzzy&#39;s Taco Shop and <a href="http://www.nrdcapital.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=nations-restaurant-news-fuzzys-taco-shop-outlines-plan-for-controlled-expansion-2703019" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NRD Capital</a>. According to a recent article by Nation&#39;s Restaurant News, the Fort Worth-based restaurant franchise has tripled their openings since NRD Capital acquired 70-percent of the company and fueled the brand&#39;s trajectory behind experience, strategy, and a franchisee-first focus.

&ldquo;When we first started, Aziz and I had a conversation,&rdquo; Mel Knight, president of Fuzzy&#39;s Taco Shop, told NRN. &ldquo;I basically asked him what he was most concerned with as we partnered up. He said, quite frankly, it was the infrastructure to support our franchisees. He was right on target.&rdquo;

Following up on the first year&#39;s success, Fuzzy&#39;s expects to open 30 locations by year&#39;s end. Aziz Hashim, managing partner of NRD Capital, created the fund to give emerging franchise concepts a way to reach the next level behind decades of franchise experience, resources, and strategic guidance - and Fuzzy&#39;s Taco Shop fit the type of franchise concept that he and the company are interested in.

&ldquo;Most of the investors in our fund are franchisees, so unit economics are a huge factor for us,&rdquo; Hashim told NRN. &ldquo;What we saw in Fuzzy&rsquo;s was not just amazing unit economics, but an amazing culture. The franchisees there are very highly regarded. It was a brand that was perfect for us.&rdquo;
