JRI Hospitality was founded in 2011 with the mission to provide the best food and customer service possible. We strive to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience that excites our customers every time they visit our restaurants, like The Original Grande. To expand our reach and provide exceptional service, JRI Hospitality has purchased the Taco Grande in Abilene, Kansas, and will convert it into one of our The Original Grande restaurants. What does this acquisition mean for the Abilene community, and why is JRI excited for this new opportunity? We’re here to answer these questions and more in the article below.
Abilene’s Taco Grande Will Become The Original Grande
We’re excited to spread the joy of The Original Grande to the town of Abilene, Kansas. Our acquisition of the Taco Grande located at 200 S. Buckeye Avenue is a natural fit for The Original Grande’s expansion across the Midwest and beyond.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for us in a market that we know very well,” Jason Ingermanson, founder and CEO of JRI Hospitality, said. “We are excited about the potential of The Original Grande and look forward to expanding the brand across the country.”
As of this article’s posting, we have taken over Taco Grande’s Abilene restaurant and will phase in the rebrand of the location in the coming months. Additionally, the first location of The Original Grande will open this Summer in Salina, Kansas.
The Original Grande Will Excite and Delight The Abilene Community
When Abilene residents and taco-loving travelers visit one of our The Original Grande restaurants, they’ll appreciate our emphasis on the dining experience. JRI Hospitality creates memorable dining by matching the quality of its food with its exemplary customer service. It’ll feature delicious, freshly prepared menu items enjoyed in a comfortable dining environment.
Our mission is simple – satisfy people’s craving for Southwestern food with high-quality ingredients and one-of-a-kind customer service. We strive to create a positive experience for anyone who walks into our doors.
