A customizable burrito chain that was founded before Chipotle is now expanding across America
Freebirds
The 95-unit Austin-based chain debuted its new prototype last week, with a new location in Castle Hills, Texas, reports Nation's Restaurant News.
The company called the new design "modern industrial farmhouse" in a blog post about the location. It utilizes many features that have become popular at various trendy fast-casual chains, including digital menu boards, a reclaimed wood wall, and an open kitchen.
"We've come to realize that our culinary creations speak louder than our decor and our new design best supports our belief that great people deserve great food - and a great atmosphere to enjoy their meal in," reads the company blog post on the new design.
Freebirds has been serving up "Chipotle-style" burritos before Chipotle was even founded, using a similar fast-casual customizable model.
Freebirds
The menu includes customizable bowls, burritos, salads, nachos, and quesadillas, with fillings like steak, carnitas, chicken, and Tempeh Calabacitas.
The company was founded in 1987 in California, and today has locations in seven states in the south and western US.
Freebirds
In 2007, private investment company Tavistock Group purchased Freebirds. Tavistock Group owns a number of small restaurant chains, including Abe & Louie's, Cafe del Rey, and Joe's American Bar & Grill, as well as investments including real estate, sports institutes, and energy companies.
