Tortilla Mexican Grill plc (LSE:MEX) has reported its 2024 annual results, highlighting a strategic drive to revitalize its UK business and accelerate expansion across Europe through the recent acquisition of Fresh Burritos in France. The company recorded a 3.5% increase in revenue, reaching £68.0 million, supported by contributions from the new French acquisition and robust franchise performance.
While group like-for-like sales experienced a slight dip, UK sales demonstrated a notable rebound, signaling a positive recovery trend. The integration process for Fresh Burritos has encountered some delays due to planning approval processes in France; however, the company expects to complete store conversions by the end of 2025.
Tortilla’s growth strategy includes investments in technology upgrades and brand refresh initiatives designed to enhance customer experience and profitability moving forward.
