Campana, the franchise operator behind Taco Bell in the UK, has secured an eight-figure funding package from HSBC UK to support a major expansion programme.<\/p>\n
Part of the SYMBRO Group, Campana currently operates 23 Taco Bell restaurants across the South West, Wales and the Midlands.<\/p>\n
The new funding will accelerate growth, with six additional locations scheduled to open across these regions in the coming months.<\/p>\n
Looking further ahead, the business plans to scale up to 12 new sites per year, aiming for a portfolio of more than 50 restaurants nationwide by 2029.<\/p>\n
Expansion will focus on additional locations in Wales, the South West, along the M4 and M5 corridors, and further development across the Midlands.<\/p>\n
The \u00a320m investment is expected to support approximately 600 new jobs and increase revenue by between 50 and 60 per cent as the rollout progresses.<\/p>\n
HSBC UK will also provide a Revolving Credit Facility, offering flexible capital access to support site acquisitions, construction and fit-outs.<\/p>\n
David Morgan, finance director at Campana said: \u201cSince opening our first Taco Bell six years ago, each new restaurant has met strong demand for this much-loved brand. This latest funding allows us to build on that momentum, bringing craveable Mexican-inspired flavours to new towns and cities across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paul Lane, Relationship Director at HSBC UK said: \u201cCampana has established a strong franchise operation, and its expansion plans demonstrate the growth potential in the UK quick-service restaurant sector. Despite ongoing market pressures, franchising remains a scalable and effective growth model. The company\u2019s clear strategy and proven track record made a compelling case for this funding support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Campana operates under the SYMBRO Group, which currently owns and manages 60 quick-service restaurant franchises across the UK and the Netherlands, including Taco Bell, Subway and Starbucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
