As store manager of Starbucks Coffee in Sheridan which is located in a busy commercial center on Coffeen Avenue, Patrick Akers saw the possibilities for a Qdoba Mexican Grill franchise near this same location. Akers attended Qdoba’s six week training program and purchased a 31,632 square foot lot at to build the restaurant.

The site offers good visibility from the busy Coffeen and Brundage intersection just two blocks from U.S. Interstate 90. With long-term fixed rate financing through the SBA 504 Loan Program administered by WIDC-Frontier CDC, in participation with First Federal Savings Bank, Akers financed the land, building construction, furniture and fixtures. The restaurant has thrived since opening.
