&ldquo;I came into the original Rusty Taco in Dallas, Texas, late in the afternoon one day after we were acquired, and I looked up and saw Inspire Brands CEO Paul Brown with a group of people walking in the door. I introduced myself, and Paul said he loved the name Rusty Taco. I think he saw this as a brand with a story behind it. There was a man named Rusty who had a dream and chased that dream. Paul is very connected to people and their story, and he took the time to find out ours,&rdquo; said co-founder, Denise Fenton.

Rusty Taco was founded in 2010 by Rusty and Denise Fenton. Since its inception, the franchise has grown to 27 units across six states.
