Chichis was at least several hundred locations and a solid at least regional player at its peak…

And it wound up finally closing for good due to a hep an outbreak though thr company hand been in and out of BK and changed owners a few times if memory serves near the end.

I really don’t understand the point of this article at all, it sounds like it’s trying to argue the Mexican space is too crowded… but the examples it tries to cite for that argument really don’t support that general consensus.

I do believe that if burgers THE american food can only realistically support maybe 5-6 serious national quick service chains, that the footprint for Mexican quick service restaurants probably only has room for maybe 2-3 serious national quick service chains at most..

But in terms of casual dining, not quick service, that’s a wholly different story..

I dunno just a weird article all the way around.
