Barburrito launched the UK’s first burrito bar in 2005 at Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester. The company operates 21 sites across 11 major cities in the UK. It now plans to expand into airport environments in partnership with TRG. Morgan Davies, founder and chief executive of Barburrito, said: “This is the start of an exciting partnership with TRG Concessions. With an established operating model working across 21 locations, we felt it was time to explore a franchise operation with a sector leader in this space.  We hope to be announcing our first airport location soon.” TRG Concessions managing director Nick Ayerst added: “We are excited to be working with Barburrito to bring an award-winning concept to UK airports. We are certain Barburrito will be well received by passengers. We are looking forward to further strengthening our food and beverage offer and look forward to developing the relationship with our new partner.” The partnership between Barburrito and TRG Concessions will also see the launch of a range of made-to-order breakfast items. Backed by the Business Growth Fund, Barburrito is now the largest burrito bar brand outside London, and continues to expand across the UK.
