Mission Burrito to Open Sixth Location in Sugarland

September 2, 2009 (HOUSTON, TX) – Mexican Restaurants, Inc., one of the largest Mexican-only themed restaurant companies in the United States, announced today that it will open its sixth Mission Burrito location on September 14th in Sugar Land. The new location will be at Lake Pointe Village shopping center on the corner of Highway 59 and Highway 6.

“We are excited about opening our newest Mission Burrito location in Sugar Land,” said Curt Glowacki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mexican Restaurants, Inc. “Mission Burrito has been a landmark in the Houston area for more than twelve years. We have successfully duplicated this iconic concept by giving customers over-the-top service and allowing them to build their favorite burrito with more fresh ingredients than any other burrito concept in the country.”

Glowacki added that Mission Burrito recently rolled out its successful Value Offering in all locations to help families during the economic downturn. For a limited time, customers can enjoy their choice of a Chicken Burrito, Chicken Bowl or Taco Combo for just five dollars Monday through Wednesday.

The first Mission Burrito opened in 1997 in Houston on West Alabama and quickly gained fame for building large, “mucho” burritos prepared cafeteria-style right before the customer. Mexican Restaurants, Inc. purchased the concept in 2006 and has since added four new locations.

Sugar Land is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas and is part of Fort Bend County, one of the fastest growing counties in the country.
