Ohio Hot Head Burritos expands to Las Vegas, Connecticut

The locally based Hot Head Burritos chain boosted its national footprint this week with the opening of its first Nevada location in Las Vegas as well as its first location in Connecticut.

The franchise-owned restaurant in Las Vegas marks the chain’s first location west of the Mississippi River. The Las Vegas franchise owners will open a second location in March and a third in the region later this year, according to a Hot Head Burritos spokeswoman.

The Windsor Locks, Connecticut, location is the first of what could be as many as 20 locations in the northern Connecticut and central Massachusetts region over the next few years, a number that could grow to 40 in subsequent years.

Hot Head’s footprint extends to eight states — Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Connecticut and Nevada — and includes more than 70 restaurants.

The fast-casual Mexican food chain opened its first restaurant in Kettering in 2007 and is now headquartered in West Chester.
