We'd love to start in Chattanooga. Our segment is pretty competitive.

Quick-service Mexican restaurant concept Del Taco is slated to come to the Chattanooga area with the first of seven units to go up by 2019, according to the company.

The Lake Forest, Calif.-based restaurant chain has signed multi-unit franchise development agreement with Jetz Foods LLC of Chattanooga to bring the eateries to Hamilton and Bradley counties in Tennessee and Whitfield, Catoosa and Gordon counties in Georgia.

Tom Getz of Jetz Foods said he and partner Billy Jensen wanted to be part of the Del Taco brand as it expands.

“No other quick-service concept in the greater Chattanooga area offers the same level of freshness and quality of food with the value and convenience of a drive through,” said Getz.
