“Now, it’s time for me to step back and let the next generation of Wheelers take the lead. They’re excited to continue the family legacy we kicked off in Central Florida in 1995. Watching their passion for maintaining our traditions and values—it’s been really cool,” Brian Wheeler said in a press release.
According to the release, Jake Wheeler will oversee Big Taco as a partner and general manager.
The Tex-Mex restaurant is set to have an old Las Vegas theme and is looking to employ 40 people, with job openings opening in the middle of October, according to the press release.
At this time, it is not known if Big Taco will expand and franchise like its predecessor Tijuana Flats, which has over 130 locations across six states.
