History of Taco John's
In April, 1968, a small taco stand opened in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The "Taco House" was an instant success because of the unique seasonings used in its tasty tacos and burritos. In 1969 our founders began franchising this concept as "Taco John's." The first restaurants were brightly colored modular buildings that were manufactured in Cheyenne and trucked to the site.

Today, Taco John's celebrates 36 years of excellence. There are over 400 Taco John's, in both small and large communities. Our buildings have changed dramatically and we now have a great new look for the future. We have added drive-thru technology and become a leader in this segment of the fast food industry. Other service, packaging, and recipe changes have been made and new products added. Despite the progress and innovation, the core elements that made Taco John's a success over the years have remained the same. Our commitment remains to serve generous portions of fresh tasting, boldly seasoned, Mexican food served quickly and pleasantly for a fair price. That's what Taco John's is still all about. We call it . . .West-Mex7reg; Attitude.

Prospective Franchisee Qualifications
Prospective franchisees take part in a thorough three-phase review process that looks at each applicant's background, experience, and plans in three important areas: Finance, Operations, and Real Estate. To financially qualify for a Taco John's restaurant, you need a net worth of at least $400,000, with about $150,000 in liquid assets. Along with the financial assessment, we will review your résumé to determine your business and restaurant experience, and your management skills. We will schedule a visit, at your expense, to our Franchise Support Center in Cheyenne where you will meet senior members of our staff. During this visit we will review your business plan with you.
