SEATTLE Taco Del Mar said it has named Bob Tipple president and chief executive of Taco Del Mar Canada, the Mexican quick-service chain's exclusive Canadian licensee.
The Taco Del Mar chain includes 60 locations in Canada, as well as more than 200 in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. The Canadian licensee is in the process of completing a multi-million dollar private placement to fund expansion of the brand there, according to the Seattle-based Taco Del Mar.
Tipple previously served as president of Subway Developments 2000 Inc., where he helped develop more than 600 franchised restaurants in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.
“Bob will play an integral role in building Taco Del Mar’s brand and infrastructure in Canada,” said Michael Anthony, chairman of Taco Del Mar Canada, based in Toronto. “His experience is a perfect match as we continue to create the country’s leading quick-service Mexican restaurant chain.”
