The privately owned fast food firm signed a franchise development agreement with father and son restaurateurs, William and Joseph Leto, to build the new free-standing restaurants but have not yet selected the locations, Del Taco's Barbara Caruso tells GlobeSt.com. The Letos currently operate several Denny's restaurants in the Tucson area.
Caruso said the company is currently scouting for locations in the Tucson area and expects construction of the restaurants to be completed within five years. The company currently operates two Del Taco restaurants in Tucson at 1530 W Grant Rd. and 840 E Broadway Blvd.
