A 'Tex Mex' restaurant chain is looking for someone to take on a franchise in Carlisle as part of a major expansion in the UK.

Currently there is only one 'Cactus Jack's' in the country which is based in Doncaster but the company are looking for franchisees across the UK. 

Cactus Jack's is described as a 'highly branded, family orientated casual dining restaurant' specialising in Tex-Mex cuisine.

The Cactus Jack's business model is based around a themed casual dining restaurant in the ‘Tex-Mex’ sector and focuses on dishes such as ribs, nachos, tortillas and enchiladas, as well burgers and salads. 

The overall investment requirement, including working capital, will be around £240,000 according to the company.

Cactus Jack's are looking for individuals, or partnerships, with a strong hospitality background such as chefs or restaurant managers, but this is not a hard and fast pre-requisite.

According to Cactus Jack's, the franchise industry is worth £17.2 billion to the UK economy, and there are over 900 franchise systems in operation in the UK.
