A lot of international chain restaurants have been crossing over to the U.S. in recent years. London’s Pret A Manger and Wagamamma, for example. Now, Spanish sandwich chain 100 Montaditos is planning on opening up 4,000 restaurants in the U.S. over the next five years. They have already opened up two restaurants in Miami, FL.
100 Montaditos is specifically looking at Florida and New York for their expansion. 100 Montaditos is a franchise-based operation, run through Grupo Restalia.The sandwich shops are described as a cross between full and quick service. Customers check off their orders on paper menus, hand them to the counter people, and wait for their order to be called. I’ve seen this method in dozens of joints and personally I prefer it to going through a waitress or waiter.
The sandwiches on the menu come in small portions and are very affordable. This helps them fulfill the light meal trend going on in the U.S. – perfect for midmorning and afternoon diners! Here’s hoping a 100 Montaditos makes it Orlando! I’d love to try this place out!
