Mondo Burrito Wave Hits Minnesota and North Dakota With Taco Del Mar

Taco Del Mar Announces Regional Master Developer Pact With Serial Entrepreneur
                Barry Maring; April 5 Bloomington Roadshow Set

    SEATTLE, March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Barry Maring of Northland Restaurant
Group, Inc. is directing his entrepreneurial talent toward developing Taco Del
Mar restaurants, a hot concept serving Baja-inspired "mondo burritos and
rippin tacos" in a fast-casual, surf infused setting. Taco Del Mar announced
today Maring's exclusive rights to sell franchises and develop restaurants in
North Dakota, Minnesota, and parts of western Wisconsin.
    With plans to open 150 restaurants in the next 10 years across his
territory, Maring is wasting no time signing franchisees and securing premium
locations.
    The first core areas of development will be Fargo and Minneapolis-St.
Paul. Fargo, Maring's hometown and a place of his other enterprises, currently
has two letters of intent under review. A Lake City, Minn. franchise has
already been purchased.
    Maring is a former Subway developer and franchisee currently involved in
hotel and land development with his father Russell Maring, and in his own
company, Brookstone Development, Inc. of Fargo, N.D.
     "Taco Del Mar has a great image and menu that we feel confident our
region is going to readily embrace," Maring said. "The Mexi-fresh segment is
really growing, and for franchisees, it's got a relatively low barrier for
entry ($115,000-$240,000), protected territory, and franchises are
technologically streamlined-making them easy to operate."
    Maring plans to have eight Taco Del Mar restaurants open by year's end. He
will hold an informational franchise roadshow Wednesday, April 5, at 6:30 p.m.
at Holiday Inn Select & Suites, Three Appletree Square (near I-494 & 34th Ave)
in Bloomington, Minn. Reservations are recommended by contacting Maring at
701-212-8530.
    Taco Del Mar serves mondo, 24-ounce beef, pork and chicken burritos with a
choice of (four) tortillas, plus a selection of fish tacos, enchiladas,
quesadillas, kids meals, salads, vegetarian and vegan selections. Store decor
festively sets the "Inner Baja" mood with vibrant surf murals, thatched
umbrellas, and long board tabletops.
    A West Coast innovator of "mondo burritos and rippin tacos" since 1992,
Taco Del Mar has brought its fast, fresh and filling food to more than 190
locations throughout North America. Visit TacoDelMar.com or contact Maring at
701-212-8530 or email bmaring@tacodelmar.com.
