Being first means there is no nearby Café Mexicali yet to compare against. It also means the brand is new to local guests, so be ready to introduce it.
Your territory, stated plainly.
Your territory is defined in the Summary Pages of the Franchise Agreement by a stated radius around your approved location. It is not an exclusive territory (FDD Item 12). You may face competition from other franchisees, from outlets Café Mexicali and its affiliates own, and from other channels of distribution.
If you are in full compliance with your agreements, Café Mexicali will not operate or authorize anyone else to open a full-size Café Mexicali restaurant from a physical storefront inside your territory. Utah has distinct seasons and every market has its own traffic patterns. Café Mexicali does not claim how a restaurant will perform in any climate, and site selection and market analysis look at yours.
What opening in Utah looks like.
The path is the same in every market: apply, talk with Jim, review the FDD for at least 14 days, meet the founders, sign and choose a site, then complete three weeks of training and one week of on-site opening support. The FDD estimates 90 to 180 days from site approval to opening day.
